Course Overview

Overview

Structural Engineering is generally recognised as a specialist area of Civil Engineering but the two areas are very similar. This is a perfect degree programme for those looking to succeed in this field as it offers up our hugely successful standard Civil Engineering degree but introduces a number of key areas of specialism.

This Honours degree programme follows a similar structure to the straight BEng Civil Engineering degree. The major difference is the compulsory study of the Advanced Structural Analysis in year 4.

What You'll Study

The first two years cover general Engineering, with elements of Chemical, Mechanical, Petroleum and Electrical/Electronics, as well as Civil. In the later years you specialise, following your chosen discipline in greater depth. You do not need to finalise your choice of specialisation until you begin third year.

It is possible to move between MEng and BEng and this can be accomplished at any point until the second half session of fourth year. Successful BEng candidates will be offered the chance to change to the MEng and there is no quota, meaning that if grade requirements are met that transfer is guaranteed.

Course Overview

 

Overview

Civil engineering is all about our environment. Civil engineers design, build and maintain our roads, railways, airports, dams, hospitals, schools and sports stadiums. They also design water supply systems and flood protection schemes. They keep our infrastructure working effectively and adapt it to meet challenges like population growth or climate change.

Civil Engineering is concerned with creative use of engineering principles and science to shape and improve our lives and our environment.

The work of the Civil Engineer centres on sustainable design for the built and natural environment, both onshore and offshore.

If you are interested in making lasting, positive improvements to society, in sustainable design for the protection of the natural environment on land or at sea, in improving the quality of life for millions of people using novel building techniques and materials, then Civil Engineering is the career choice for you.

The interdisciplinary content of our curriculum and focus on practical applications and value to industry and society provide our students with the necessary intellectual and transferrable skills for a career in a number of industries.

Our teaching is supported by our excellent workshop and laboratories, with state-of-the-art equipment, including some of Scotland’s very best hydraulic equipment.

  • TAU Racing was established in 2007 by a group of undergraduate engineers of various disciplines. The team’s goal each year is to design and build a single seat racing car to compete at Silverstone.
  • Hands-on experience of laboratory experiments and of industry-standard software is used to enhance your learning. 
  • Opportunities exist for industry sponsored scholarships and bursaries, final year individual projects undertaken with industry, and study abroad opportunities.

Careers

 

Civil Engineering graduates are sought after in a wide variety of industries and business sectors. Civil Engineering graduates work in civil and structural companies, working on site, in design offices, project management, buildings and environmental engineering. Civil Engineers function very well in both onshore civil engineering sectors as well as the oil and gas energy sectors. In addition, as with any other discipline within our School, graduates benefit from processing skills in logical analysis, problem solving, management and communication which allow them to find employment outside the civil engineering discipline.

Many graduate jobs are open to students studying any subject area.

Course Overview

 

Overview

Civil and Environmental Engineering is a hugely relevant degree for today. The environment is a major consideration for local, national and international companies and governments, but never more is this true than when it comes to engineering projects of all sizes. Greater consideration has to be given to a range of environmental factors and this degree will go some way to making students aware of them.

This Honours degree programme follows a similar structure to the straight BEng Civil Engineering degree. The major difference is the compulsory requirement to study the Environmental Engineering course in year 4. This particular course deals with various aspects related to:

  • Surface Water: sources of water pollution and their impact on aqueous environment and public health, water quality and supply, wastewater treatment;
  • Soil and Groundwater: groundwater flow, groundwater contamination and pollution, subsurface contaminants transport mechanisms, sustainable land-groundwater management;
  • Solid Waste: sources of solid waste, characterisation and treatment of solid waste, solid waste management;
  • Air Pollution and Control: air pollutants and sources, air pollution meteorology, pollutant dispersion in the air, air pollution control.

Why Study Engineering (Civil and Environmental)?
Offering up the same breadth of benefits on offer through the Civil Engineering degree, the focus on Environmental Engineering is ideally suited to students who want to progress into careers where they can use engineering principles and solutions to have a direct positive impact on environmental challenges and problems facing society.

Careers

 

Civil engineers are employed by a variety of organisations such as business and private industry, law firms, insurance firms, colleges, and more. They can also be self-employed consultants giving advice to Architects and builders, developing oil rigs and rail systems. With the additional environmental knowledge examination of toxins can ensure that new developments don’t get built on contaminated land for example.
