MEng Civil Engineering (Accredited CEng Full) H200

BEng (Hons) Civil Engineering (Accredited CEng Partial) H202

This course requires a broad range of skills. You will be given a strong background in the core disciplines of structures, water engineering and geotechnics. Particular strengths can be developed in Environmental Engineering, Structural Engineering or Geotechnical Engineering. Alternatively, you can select a mix of these subjects including additional options in Modern Languages.

Our department offers particular strengths in Environmental Engineering. Although this is a general Civil Engineering course, you can gain a specialisation in the environment through the broad range of water engineering subjects available.

The course is bound together by a strong philosophy of engineering design that stresses the role of analysis, creativity and commercial awareness. This starts in year one with basic skills in graphical, verbal and written presentation of design schemes, and continues throughout the course.

The course can be taken either as a four year MEng degree or a three year BEng (Hons) degree. The progress of all students is reviewed at the end of years one and two, with MEng study offered to all students performing well on the three year course.

The MEng degree is accredited as fully satisfying the educational base for a Chartered Engineer (CEng).

The BEng (Hons) degree is accredited as:

1. fully satisfying the educational base for an Incorporated Engineer (IEng).
2. partially satisfying the educational base for a Chartered Engineer (CEng). A programme of accredited Further Learning will be required to complete the educational base for CEng.

See www.jbm.org.uk for further information about accreditation and details of Further Learning programmes.

Years 1 & 2 MEng and BEng

All students study the same broad range of modules, including maths, mechanics, water engineering, geotechnics, materials and design.

Years 3 & 4 MEng

In the autumn semester of Year 3 further advanced modules are studied. An integrated design project takes up all the spring Semester where you will devise plans for an entire eco-town or urban regeneration site. The project will involve investigating new methods and materials, developing both outline and detailed designs, and includes both group and individual work.

In Year 4 a range of advanced options are available. Many of which are taught alongside our MSc students. In addition, a 40 credit individual final year project will be undertaken.

Year 3 BEng

In the autumn semester of Year 3 further advanced modules are studied. BEng students also take part in the integrated design project but undertake much more individual project work than MEng students.

Entry Requirements

MEng/BEng: 3 A2 levels (AAA) including maths and a science subject (biology, chemistry or physics).

_{This degree has been accredited by the Institution of Civil Engineers, the Institution of Structural Engineers, the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation, and the Institute of Highway Engineers under licence from the UK regulator, the Engineering Council. Accreditation is a mark of assurance that the degree meets the standards set by the Engineering Council in the UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC). An accredited degree will provide you with some or all of the underpinning knowledge, understanding and skills for eventual registration as an Incorporated (IEng) or Chartered Engineer (CEng). Some employers recruit preferentially from accredited degrees, and an accredited degree is likely to be recognised by other countries that are signatories to international accords.}
