Summary
This course (module) is a collection of a student's work, accumulated over the year and presented as a portfolio
demonstrating Professional Understanding, Skills and Personal Development. Teaching will be delivered through
‘workshops’, each normally timetabled for two half days per week for two weeks. There are seven workshop themes:
B Computational Methods
E Engineering Surveying
F Technical Communication
G Construction Materials
H Experimental Science
I BIM
J Transportation Engineering
Through the workshops the students will learn basic engineering skills and gather awareness of the profession, to be demonstrated in assignments set for each workshop. Assignments may include group or individual reports, in class tests, computer aided models, multimedia, computational scripts or surveying tasks. A student must attend 12 workshops to include within their portfolio. The following workshops must be included:
- B6 Introduction to Oasys GSA;
- G6 Geology for Civil Engineers;
- One further G-series workshop;
- H6 Concrete mix design;
- I1 Introduction to BIM;
- F1: Technical Writing.
A Continuing Professional Development (CPD) process will be used to plan, record and evaluate the development of workshop specific and wider engineering skills. Further regulations regarding this module can be found in the module briefing notes.
For students requiring reassessment, these will be in the same form as the original assessment, with students given
the opportunity to resubmit any failed elements.

Educational Aims
To: (i) Introduce structural analysis and modelling tools; (ii) Introduce advanced computer aided design techniques; (iii) Develop an appreciation of the role of local geology in civil engineering design; (iv) Introduce different construction materials and their related design considerations; (v) Assist with developing a scientific approach to experimental work; (vi) Provide an opportunity to learn advanced surveying techniques; (vii) Stimulate personal reflection on development and needs relevant to becoming a professional, chartered civil engineer.Learning Outcomes
1. Undertake computer based structural analysis.
2. Design structural elements using different construction materials.
3. Understand how to plan, undertake and report on an experimental programme.
4. Appreciate the benefits of, and be able to use, an inter-disciplinary communication tool (BIM).
5. Appreciate the implications of local geology for Civil Engineering design.
6. Undertake a Continuing Professional Development process including review, plan, action & reflect.
This will contribute to the following programme learning outcomes (see Programme (Plan) Specifications for details):
- Knowledge and Understanding: M1, M2
- Intellectual Skills: M3
- Professional/Practical Skills: M12, M13
- Transferable/Key Skills to: M18
