Program Description

Why you should study this course

Coventry University offers modern facilities in our High Performance Engineering Centre, including construction site management simulation.

• The course is developed and delivered by academic lecturers and guest speakers (subject to availability) in collaboration with civil engineering employers, such as Underground Professional Services and Morgan Sindall.
• The course is designed to develop knowledge and understanding of engineering principles and practices, together with methods used to analyse, design, test and monitor structural engineering systems, materials and structural performance.
• From concept to construction, we aim to cover the technical skills required to analyse, design and develop sound solutions to structural engineering projects. Using case studies, practical sessions, simulation labs and site visits to live projects (subject to availability), you will have the opportunity to apply engineering principles and use computer modelling techniques to analyse complex engineering systems, gaining valuable experience of the work you will be able to carry out in an industrial context.

On successful completion of the course, you should be able to:

• Apply knowledge and wide-ranging understanding of health, safety and environment principles and legal framework within which the construction industry operates and undertake full ethical and professional responsibilities in the discharge of your duties.
• Apply in-depth knowledge and detailed understanding of structural analysis and design, innovative construction and performance assessment and maintenance techniques to civil engineering structures.
• Apply innovative and advanced computational methods and simulation tools to model and analyse complex structural and coupled-field engineering systems.
• Apply wide-ranging understanding of experimental, analytical & numerical techniques for investigative studies in structural and geotechnical engineering.
• Apply detailed understanding in proposal development and writing; use innovative knowledge in sourcing, analysing and presenting data; and apply research methodologies to undertake independent technical investigation and academic writing of a specialised topic.
• Develop your personal abilities in teamwork, leadership and communication.
• Apply corporate strategy and systems theory to the management of projects in engineering and construction industry.
