Students work in groups to propose and design realistic engineering solutions to complex interdisciplinary engineering problems. Each scenario focuses on a civil engineering problem to improve problem-solving abilities and allow relevant information from different disciplines to be connected meaningfully and creatively. A scenario will typically contain a few hours of introductory lecture time, some tutorials to introduce tools or skills not previously covered in the curriculum (e.g. use a specific software package); some intermediate feedback sessions, supervised/unsupervised studio time and will conclude with some form of project presentation and submission.

You develop original engineering solutions for complex problems that meet a combination of societal, user, business and customer needs as appropriate. This will involve consideration of applicable health & safety, diversity, inclusion, cultural, societal, environmental and commercial matters, codes of practice and industry standards.
