Programme specification:

Aims
- To help graduates to develop the engineering, design, management, leadership, business and personal skills required to become professional Engineers and in doing so, also equip them to undertake research and further learning and to develop careers in other professions.
- To provide the educational requirements (in compliance with UK-SPEC) to permit progression to Chartered
Membership of the Institution of Civil Engineers, the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation and the
Institution of Structural Engineers and registration with ECUK as a Chartered Engineer.

Objectives
On completion of their chosen MEng, BEng Programme, graduates will be able to:
- demonstrate and use a high level of analytical problem solving skills and competencies to provide strategic leadership, breadth of vision and resources to be innovative and creative and promote change within the profession.
- use their knowledge and understanding of the engineering and scientific principles underpinning structures, water
engineering, geotechnics, materials and management within the context of the construction industry and detailed and conceptual design.
- apply their knowledge of basic principles of organisations and financial concepts in a multi-disciplinary engineering
context.
- work effectively with engineers from other disciplines and display an understanding of business practices in other
engineering professions.
- use their analytical skills to solve non-routine engineering problems.
- apply their knowledge of project management and financial acquisition and control in an engineering business context.
- demonstrate an appreciation of the context in which civil and structural engineering are practised and managed,
particularly an awareness of the management of quality and health & safety systems and environmental and sustainability issues.
- select and design appropriate experimental procedures and to evaluate and apply the information gained to the solution of complex problems.
- apply their skills in information technology as applied to civil and structural engineering as well as a high level of
competence in oral and written communication to other professionals.
- practise strategies for identifying and satisfying their own learning needs.
- demonstrate a professional attitude towards their responsibilities to society.
- demonstrate an appreciation of academic research skills within the context of the School's research activities.

BEng

In addition to developing the skills etc as specified for the BEng (Hons) Civil and Structural Engineering programme, graduates who have studied for the BEng (Hons) degree programme in Architectural Engineering (Industrial) will have an understanding of the theoretical and practical aspects of integrating the functional needs of building services with architectural concepts and structural engineering. Through the design project students will have an appreciation of working with different design codes, become familiar with commonalities and key differences.

The BEng (Hons) Architectural Engineering (Industrial) degree will provide students with the opportunity to become qualified to Chartered status by enrolment on JBM accredited Further Learning Programmes of study after graduation.

MEng

During the final year, students will develop a deeper understanding of the various aspect of the complex world of design:

Architectural and spatial planning, structural correctness, environmental efficiency. Concepts of sustainability will be an integral part of the course. Aspects of professional practice will also be included in the formation of a new kind, all-round designers.

The completion of the MEng, BEng (Hons) Architectural Engineering (Industrial) programme will provide the educational requirements (in compliance with UK-SPEC) to permit progression to Chartered Membership of the Institution of Civil Engineers, the Institution of Highways and Transportation and the Institution of Structural Engin eers and registration with ECUK as a Chartered Engineer.
