CIV1900   Civil Engineering Skills   (20 credits)

Description

This module aims to give students the tools to become excellent engineers. This begins with the ability to communicate their designs through hand sketches and through the use of software. Students are then expected to use peer assessment to assess their drawings so they can understand how not only to create drawings but also how to effectively present information on them too. Basic skills in computer programming are also introduced to give students the ability to solve complex problems. In second semester the module concentrates on surveying skills, including an outdoor group surveying exercise and the development of a surveying plan report.
