Educational Aims of the Course
To provide fundamental knowledge in and develop an advanced understanding of the theory and practice of advanced mathematics, structural analysis and design, civil engineering hydrology and environmental science, geotechnics and fluid mechanics and hydraulics in the wider business, built environment and civil engineering sectors. To provide opportunities for the appreciation and understanding of the significant factors constraining the effective management and development of the built environment and major infrastructure, e.g. physical, legal, economic, sustainable and technological factors. To provide opportunities for collaborative and individual student-centred study on project tasks that simulate real working practices in order to develop analytical, critical and problem solving skills such that they can define, investigate and analyse problems, form judgements, make decisions and demonstrate the acquisition of such qualities. To provide the framework within which students can achieve the level of attainment, appropriate to their abilities in the context of the programme of study. To prepare students for the transition from Higher Education to employment within a professional context; and develop those transferable, specialist and employability skills that all stakeholders could reasonably expect of students who successfully complete a Professional Diploma in Civil Engineering. To encourage students to engage with the development of employability skills.
