This module broadens the concepts of structural analysis and design first developed in the Level 1 Civil Engineering modules EG-120 and EG-122. The module focuses on the development of understanding from first principles of the concepts of reinforced concrete, use of reinforced concrete as a sustainable material and the design of reinforced concrete sections. Students will learn to carry out the full detailed design of typical reinforced concrete structural elements, including beams, slabs, and columns and by the end of the course will be capable of analysing and designing a simple reinforced concrete frame structure according to Eurocode 2. Students will develop an understanding of methodologies for appraisal of build options in the context of the sustainable reinforced concrete construction (BREEAM and similar) and a knowledge of the role of the engineer in health and safety and sustainability in design and construction.
This module is based around the attributes (set out by the Institution of Civil Engineers) which are required to become an Incorporated or Chartered Civil Engineer. It will set out the framework of the construction industry and go some way to prepare students for what they are likely to face when they work in the civil, structural or building construction sector. It will give them an insight of the modern construction industry and the direction of travel of the industry. As well as the application of Civil Engineering and general engineering management, this module will develop knowledge and skills specific to Civil Engineering management, including (but not limited) risk management, sustainability and digital engineering. Students will be introduced to the types of Civil Engineering projects and the project management processes required to build them. This part of the course will develop knowledge and understanding of considerations for Health and Safety, Sustainability, and Engineering Contracts for projects as well as how these are managed. It will particularly focus on the commercial / contractual management, and the different types of contracts in common use in the industry. Students will also be encouraged to look at their own management style and the importance of good communication. They will develop their own CV's to gain an understanding of the aspects of professional behavior and development required by professional institutions. The programme consists of lectures, industry-delivered talks, individual and groupwork assignments on the various aspects that will be encountered in Civil Engineering and the wider construction industry.
A project based learning design module spanning TB1 and TB2. Learning is based upon real-world building design scenarios to develop Steel and Reinforced Concrete detailed design skills, whilst also aiming to provide students with understanding of the whole building design process and real-life design experience. Stages of group work project include: 1. Concept development 2. Preliminary design 3. Health and Safety CDM Risk Assessment and Ethics 4. Detailed design in steel and reinforced concrete and 5. Sustainability
The module aims to develop the ability to construct a viable strategic plan as part of a group with the individual assessment being delivered in the form of a document covering one of the key aspects within the structure of that strategic plan. The final ambition of the strategic plan, i.e. the synopsis will be defined by industry seniors. There is an expectation that key research skills will be developed alongside personal and professional development skills and the utilization of knowledge gained throughout the taught elements.
Module Aims: This module will set out the framework of the construction industry and go some way to prepare students for what they are likely to face when they work with a contractor/consultant after leaving university. It will give them an insight of the modern construction industry and the direction of travel of the industry. They will learn what is behind the full project process, including how to identify risk, follow a brief, price work, programme work, and general good practice for effective project management. The module will allow them to see how a project is structured, as well as identifying the essential skills that are required in the workplace to become a valuable employee and project team member. The students will consider the future direction of the construction industry, including investigating the development of information management and sustainability. They will also consider the required continual personal development to keep pace with the changes. The programme consists a series of lecture/tutorial classes, group/individual work, and presentation with feedback.
A practical group design project based on a real-life building design scenario, aimed to provide students with understanding of the whole building design process and real-life design experience utilising the theory taught in modules EG-222 Reinforced Concrete Design, EG-224 Steel Design and EG-234 Civil Engineering Management.
This module aims to develop at a Masters level a fundamental knowledge about the history, current situation and future development of transportation engineering, include road, bridge, railway, etc. The module will also focus on the how the transportation engineers address the climate emergency issues from an entire perspective, i.e. whole life cycle from design, construction, service, to maintenance.
