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 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 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; and
- demonstrate an appreciation of academic research skills within the context of the School's research activities.

The BEng degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering retains the core elements of the spine degree, BEng Civil and Structural Engineering, with the opportunity to develop specialist knowledge and skills in the environmental field.
Common subjects dominate the scheme in the first two years but students increasingly focus on water engineering and the engineering and management of industrial and municipal effluents and wastes in year 3. Graduates will have a sound theoretical, practical, technical and problem solving education with which they can enter the civil engineering profession or other appropriate professional fields.

All students should consult the School Code of Practice for Assessment to view the progression and classification requirements for their programme.

BEng
In the third year of study, students will begin to develop a specialism in environmental issues, which will equip them for further study at Masters Level.
