An engineer is a problem-solver, and this varied module will give you a taster of the skills you need to analyse a range of engineering problems. You will acquire knowledge of materials, structures and mechanics, which will enable you to experience the multidisciplinary nature of engineering practice and every area of this module provides a vital grounding for civil engineering. Understanding how a building responds when subjected to a force is vital when designing strong and reliable structures. Part of this module therefore examines the theory of loading structures interwoven with a series of application examples on static and dynamic loading. Coupled with the materials elements of the module, this gives you a foundation applicable across the range of engineering topics. By the end of the year you will be equipped with the skills to progress to more advanced courses and be able to deal with more complex problems. This module is assessed equally by examination and coursework with tutorials.
