Description
The MEng design project provides an opportunity for students to critically appraise the range of analytical, design, planning and evaluation tools that have been included in the programme and to select and apply these to the design a project that requires innovation and mimics the real-world feasibility design stage of a Civil and Environmental Engineering project. Students will be required to draw from self-study and advice from industrial advisors on specialist aspects of the project. Students will develop an outline solution from module EEM516.
Aims
The aim of this Module is to provide the student with : To provide the student with the opportunity to work with others as part of a team, integrating skills learned in previous modules, along with self study and problem solving to produce a civil engineering design solution.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this module the student should be able to:
1. Analyse requirements and provide and justify a design solution, for selected elements of the project, providing calculations and working drawings.
2. Work as part of team to present and explain the final design and supporting sustainability and risk assessments to a panel of professional engineers.
