Civil Engineering Design Project

Course aim

To enable graduates to develop the skills required by civil engineering professionals in negotiating, planning, designing, constructing and reporting civil engineering developments or schemes.

Course content

The course will utilise real projects provided by industry with industrial representatives acting as clients to the students. Different developments or projects will be offered each year. Students will first develop a tender to produce a Feasibility Study for the development, then undertake the Feasibility Study, Concept Development and Detailed Design for the development. The course is undertaken by the class acting as consulting companies with the management and organisation of that company being the responsibility of the students. Regular meetings with the lecturers and industry clients will review progress and guide the teams in the projects. Each class company will be required to submit a complete concept design and reports on specified components of each project. Significant emphasis will be placed on the social, environmental, international, political and economic contexts applicable to each project.
