This is a two year professionally accredited taught post-graduate programme suited to Civil or Structural Engineering graduates with appropriate prior learning in Architecture. The programme provides advanced learning in the field of Structural Engineering coupled with exposure to Architecture modules. Your ability to identify, formulate, analyse and solve complex structural engineering problems is further developed while a significant research project enables you to develop skills to design and conduct experiments and to apply standard and specialised research tools and methods of enquiry to solve problems in new and emerging relevant areas of Structural Engineering. These skills are key attributes for lifelong learning and continued professional development in an ever evolving society. While specifically addressing learning outcomes required for a career in Structural Engineering your numerate and problem solving skills will also provide access to professional careers in other engineering disciplines, business, finance, policy development and project management amongst others. The learning experience includes approximately two Semesters of lectures, tutorials, studio work and group project work, with an eight month work placement in industry and an individual research project making up the balance. Assessment is by a combination of end of semester examinations and continuous assessment which takes the form of individual assignments, practical laboratory work and group projects for taught modules. These are complemented by leadership roles in modules for undergraduate students, and a series of presentations, a written thesis, and an oral examination for your research project. While testing your academic ability this assessment strategy also provides learning in the requisite written, oral, multimedia communication and leadership skills required of a professional engineer.
Students register to 30 credits in each Trimester. IMPORTANT: For the Spring Trimester, all students should initially register to the 30-credit Option module CVEN40730 Professional Work Experience, and not select any other Option Modules. Where a student does not secure an internship for the Spring Trimester, they will be required to register to other modules in the Spring Trimester as per the structure outlined.
