Civil Engineering Meng

<strong>Design and build a greener future. You’ll develop advanced technical knowledge and complete a range of practical work on this integrated master’s course.</strong><br/><br/><strong>What is civil engineering?</strong><br/>Civil engineering is behind how our modern towns and cities work. Civil engineers design, construct, maintain, upgrade, rehabilitate, and repair major infrastructures used by humans while protecting the natural environment. The industry plays a key role in designing a framework that can help tackle the climate change emergency. <br/><br/>This integrated master’s course provides the ideal platform to gain broad-based technical experience. The knowledge you develop will enable you to enter design, construction, or operations roles within the civil engineering industry.<br/><br/>As part of this course, you’ll:<br/><br/><br/>• Equip yourself with the problem-solving skills to work on projects such as designing large structures and infrastructure, including roads, water supply and drainage, bridges, airports, tunnels, and sea and flood defences <br/><br/><br/><br/>• Study an advanced technical programme that will give you the knowledge and skills to contribute effectively in a variety of industry settings<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Be introduced to contemporary research and engineering solutions to meet global challenges, such as the climate change emergency<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Be taught by staff with a broad range of industry experience in subjects including structural engineering, water engineering, geotechnical engineering, project management, and highways engineering<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Take part in practical work and laboratory study using industry standard facilities and IT design software<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Secure work placements during the summer and plan an optional paid placement year in industry with the help of your course team.<br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>MEng is accredited by the Joint Board of Moderators</strong><br/>This degree is accredited by the Joint Board of Moderators (JBM) comprising of the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE), Institute of Highway Engineers (IHE), the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation (CIHT) and the Permanent Way Institution (PWI) on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng).<br/><br/><strong>Find out more</strong><br/><br/><strong>Hands-on learning</strong><br/>You’ll learn using a variety of tools, including case studies and design-based exercises, that will enable you to develop applied skills, participate in critical analysis, and practise your presentation skills.<br/><br/><strong>Specialist facilities</strong><br/>Our modern, well-equipped laboratories will give you the chance to get hands-on with industry-standard tools and testing. Well show you how to examine the strength of materials for structures and understand the latest geotechnical and structural analysis software packages.<br/><br/><strong>Industry links</strong><br/>We can offer you great links with industry, thanks to our teaching team who have great experience across different areas of engineering.<br/><br/>Guest lectures from industry professionals will also form part of your programme, and youll be encouraged to become an active member of the Institution of Civil Engineers.<br/><br/>We have close links with the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE). The body was formed more than 200 years ago and is one of the world’s most respected professional engineering associations.
