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 Institute of Highway 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 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 practiced 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.


In addition to developing the skills etc as specified for the MEng (Hons) Civil & Structural Engineering programme, graduates who have studied for the MEng (Hons) degree programme in Architectural Engineering will:

a) have the academic background to become a professional engineer, with an in-depth appreciation of the interface between Civil Engineering, Architecture and Building Services Engineering, an area that presents major difficulties in today's highly serviced buildings
b) through the international link, develop the ability to work with buildings that require different design concepts and codes of practice


The third year at an overseas university also means that candidates will have gained experience of working in a different culture and educational environment and appreciate that there are a variety of ways to approach theory but the solution to a problem must obey the laws of nature and needs of mankind. The placement will assist them in dealing more effectively with architectural engineering knowledge and give them skills relevant to the international construction industry.

The programme of study will provide graduates with the opportunity to become qualified to Chartered status as recognised by the Joint Board of Moderators.

Third Year Abroad - 120 credits.

Modules cover: Architecture, Building Services, and Structures

The third year and fourth year count equally towards the final assessment for the degree.
