Summary
This module is a collection of a student's work, accumulated over the period of one year and presented as a portfolio.
The portfolio consists of three parts demonstrating:
a) Professional Understanding
b) Skills
c) Personal Development
The teaching will be delivered through a collection of workshops, each normally timetabled for two half days per week for two weeks and comprise a taught or seminar element, selfdirected study and an assignment.
There will be 5 series of workshops:
A Drawing & Design
B Computational Methods
C Engineering Themes
D Profession & Management
E Engineering Surveying
Each student must attend at least 10 workshops from series A, B, C and D, some elements of which are compulsory (see portfolio description, method of assessment - coursework 1). Series E - Engineering Surveying - is compulsory, comprising 3 weeks of taught elements followed by a residential field course. Through the workshops the students will learn basic engineering skills and gather awareness of the profession. Competence in skills and professional awareness will be demonstrated through assignments associated with each workshop. A portfolio briefing document will discuss the students choice of workshops, and how these choices complement their personal development plan.

Educational Aims
This module aims to:• Introduce students to the civil engineering profession, its ethics, codes of practice and health and safety legislation.• Provide individual engineering skills in drawing & design, computation, and management according to a student’s interests and needs.• Set out the basic principles of and provide an opportunity to undertake practice in engineering surveying.• Stimulate personal reflection on development and needs relevant to becoming a professional, chartered civil engineer.Learning Outcomes
Undertake computer aided design for civil engineering.
• Understand the role of a professional chartered civil engineer.
• Demonstrate competency in the use of engineering survey equipment and appreciate associated practices.
• Develop a plan for their personal development based on critical reflection of their abilities, interests and needs.
• Demonstrate their competence in those drawing, design, computation and management skills identified in their personal plan and attained through workshop attendance.This will contribute to the following programme learning outcomes (see Programme Specification for details):
• Knowledge and understanding of: A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6
• Intellectual skills to: B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6
