This degree programme takes the best features of our Civil Engineering degree and combines it with a range of environmental-based modules. It is designed to equip you with the core engineering skills of design and analysis, as well as emphasise the importance of integrating economic, practical and sustainable solutions in engineering.
Allied with the core engineering skills of design and analysis, you are taught the necessity of integrating economic and practical solutions. This is developed through site visits, presentations and speakers from industry, attendance at international exhibitions and analysis of company profiles. You are also made aware of the legal, social and ethical aspects of engineering, with the emphasis being firmly placed upon environmental responsibility and control.
In Years one and two you will be introduced to the basic principles of engineering along with Environmental Chemistry and Biology, Analytical Methods, Health and Safety and Pollution Control. Specialised modules may include Environmental Fluid Mechanics, Construction and Soil Mechanics, Structural Mechanics and Materials and Transport Engineering. In Year 3 specialised modules include Environmental Law, Environmental and Ecological Monitoring, Waste Management, Environmental Impact Assessment, Civil Engineering Design, Engineering Geotechnics and Integrated Transport Engineering. If you are studying for an MEng degree you choose further specialised modules in year four and complete a final year project.
This degree programme has been accredited by the Institution of Civil Engineers,the Institution of Structural Engineers, the Chartered Institution of Highways & Transportation and the Institute of Highway Engineers.
