Summary
This module is a group design project which is problem based and focuses on the application of knowledge and skills, from across the taught modules in the qualifying year in civil engineering, through team working. In Semester 1 groups will cost and develop a construction programme for a major civil engineering project. They will then act as the construction organisation, managing resources to ensure timely and cost-effective completion of the work. In Semester 2 a two-stage design of an engineering structure will be carried out. The initial stage will lead to a presentation of options; the detailed design stage will result in a design dossier. The final task will be to design and construct a model structure, which will be tested in the laboratory.

Educational Aims
To understand the processes involved in the planning and design of a civil engineering project.To appreciate the civil engineering industry and profession and how construction management is undertaken.To gain knowledge in and practice the conceptual and detailed design of an engineering To put into practice the theory learnt in the subject focussed modules in structures, materials, hydraulics and geotechnics.Learning Outcomes
On successfully completing the module, students will be able to:
- Devise a civil engineering construction programme and cost works
- Understand the processes required in earthworks, drainage, structures and pavement construction.
- React to real-world construction constraints
- Apply structural principles in bridge design
- Understand the foundations of structures
- Make engineering estimates.
