This module offers you the chance to specialise in civil engineering for the first time, introduces you to new skills, such as surveying and provides you with the opportunity to gain career counselling from professional engineers. Bringing together all the civil engineering elements learned over the first three semesters, the module gives you the chance to see how these skills fuse together through design exercises and fieldwork. Furthermore, the module brings civil engineering materials, such as steel and concrete, into focus, and you will undertake projects that build on your conceptual design techniques, by devising a railway footbridge and a floodwall.

In addition, you will get the chance to forge personal industry links, by professionally networking with and acquiring career advice from industry visitors, and attending lectures run by the Institution of Civil Engineers. This module encourages you to apply all the knowledge you have learned during your programme so far, and gives you the confidence to merge these skills with new practice. Finally, the module will equip you with surveying skills, improve your design and conceptual design methods, enhance your knowledge of man-made civil engineering materials and improve your understanding of construction health and safety issues.
