| Summary | This project draws together the many analysis, design, planning and evaluation tools that have been learnt during the civil engineering degree programme. It involves a substantial design project that mimics the real-world feasibility design of a structure in a civil engineering design consultancy. The project is run with the help of experienced senior structural engineers, helping to ensure that graduating students have skills needed to work as engineers in their practices, appropriate for a student graduating with a BEng degree. |

Learning Outcomes
On completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Create feasible and efficient solutions to a realistic civil engineering design problem by selecting theory, techniques and knowledge learnt through the degree programme, and then interpreting and applying these methods to suit the specific design challenge;
- Research, learn, and then apply new and unfamiliar engineering tools and knowledge to a design problem;
- Tackle both the conceptual design and detailed design stages of a project, choosing appropriate analytical tools for these different stages of the project;
- Develop and evaluate design solutions that are not only feasible, but that also address other drivers, such as safety through design, construction, operation and maintenance, aesthetic, economic considerations;
- Communicate clearly and accurately (by verbal, drawn and written means) to both share ideas and designs, and to receive instructions and feedback that are incorporated into the design process;
