Aims

This module develops student knowledge and understanding of the Civil Engineering Profession by making use of the opportunities available within the workplace. The module will work with students on the development of their professional portfolio, within the context of master’s level design and evaluative skills development. Students will develop systems approach to the solution of complex problems, and evaluate sustainability of designs. They will work from this to further development of their Civil Engineering ‘attainments’.

Learning Outcomes

1.
Identify and classify the performance of systems, and apply a systems approach to solving complex problems
2.
Monitor and adjust a personal programme of work.
3.
Demonstrate an understanding of the need for a high level of professional and ethical conduct in civil engineering and a knowledge of professional codes of conduct.
4.
Evaluate the sustainability of a civil engineering project, and design effectively within the constraints of the ‘triple bottom line’ (social, environmental and economic).
5.
Generate an innovative design for construction, products, systems, components or processes to fulfil new needs.

Module Content

Outline Syllabus:Reflection and report on learning through work in the Civil Engineering Profession. The work (supplemented by CPD) must include the following: Routes and required attainments for membership of ICE, IStructE, CIHT, IHE, CIWEM, reflection on the creative and innovative development of engineering solutions in the workplace, reflection on the introduction of new and advancing technology in the workplace, the performance of systems and application of the systems approach to solving complex problems, management of people and projects, safe systems of work and relevant legislation and best practice in Sustainable development.
Additional Information:This module is linked to direct work experience, gained on projects in the work place. In order to choose this option a student will need the support of a Civil Engineer who will act as their work place mentor, and sufficient time at their place of work to achieve the learning outcomes. Assuming that no more than half the time at work will support the learning outcomes, this would approximate to 10 weeks’ work at level 7 (i.e. after completion of level 6). All work based learning needs to be assessed and approved prior to commencement in line with the LJMU Placement Learning Code of Practice.
