| Module code | ENG2001 |
| Module lecturers: | Mr Charlie Statham |
| Module credits: | 30 |
In this challenge project, you will be presented with a project brief that asks you to develop the design of a large scale civil engineering project. You and your team will need to consider many aspects of the project environment and will be required to complete a range of civil engineering and related tasks. These range from developing initial concept designs, to assessing likely environmental impact of the project, surveying the site, developing structural scheme designs and investigating various construction methods.
Supported through both academic and guest lectures, you will develop your knowledge and skill in a range of different areas including:
- free-hand sketching
- carrying out topographical surveys
- presenting and articulating your work
- knowledge of health and safety in the construction industry
- knowledge of sustainability and environmental impact assessment
- knowledge of current and emerging construction techniques
- knowledge of structural scheme design
- construction project management, personal time management and team working experience
Upon completion of the project, you will present your complete body of work as a team, showing how you responding to the brief and developed a solution through concept stage to scheme design stage with a viable plan for construction.
In this project, lectures only serve as a starting point, signposting you in the right direction. To excel in this project you will need initiative and drive to complete independent study and research and explore beyond what is discussed in lectures.
