The main aim of this module is to introduce the principles of Geotechnical Engineering. Students will be exposed to the fundamental aspects related to the classification of soils, stresses in soils, shear strength and water permeability, both in the lecture theatre and in the laboratory. Furthermore students will develop knowledge and understanding of engineering properties of soil, together with an appreciation of various ground investigation techniques and the principles of geology & its impact on soil formations.

Module: 4CV002

Credits: 20

Period: 1

Type: Core

Locations: Wolverhampton City Campus

This module aims to develop your understanding of the mechanical behaviour of civil engineering materials. You will be able to apply such concepts to the analysis of beams, columns, foundations, frameworks and retaining structures of a statically determinate nature.

Module: 4CV003

Credits: 20

Period: 2

Type: Core

Locations: Wolverhampton City Campus

This module aims to develop students understanding of the conceptual, analytical, and applicable knowledge necessary for design of structures using various materials. The course focuses on the principles of structural engineering; detailed design calculations are introduced in line with the structural EuroCodes.

Module: 4CV005

Credits: 20

Period: 2

Type: Core

Locations: Wolverhampton City Campus

The aim of the module is to equip you with academic, practical and interpersonal skills that underpin the Civil and Transport Engineering discipline. The module covers a wide variety of topics including health and safety, sustainability, and introduction to computing tools. By engaging with the module, you will develop written and oral presentation skills.

Module: 4CV009

Credits: 20

Period: 2

Type: Core

Locations: Wolverhampton City Campus

This module aims to give you an introduction to the principles and practice of surveying and setting-out as part of the civil engineering construction process and is concerned with determination and control of vertical and horizontal position using a surveyors’ level and total station.

The staff at Wolverhampton are very student centered and actively support your studying. We quickly get to know all students personally which helps to build student’s confidence and assist with their learning and overall development.

The HNC Civil Engineering Studies course has been designed for practitioners and trainees who want to further their professional development within the industry. The course has been running for a number of years, enabling the course team to design a programme that matches the ever-changing theoretical and practical skills required for modern Engineering Technicians.

Past graduates of the course have successfully progressed and completed a Civil Engineering degree.

Lecturers on this course are a blend of respected academics and experienced professionals. Students are exposed to a sound theoretical base coupled with numerous practical exercises.

The civil engineering section has excellent links with local civil engineering companies as well as the local branches of the professional bodies, namely the Institution of Civil Engineers and the Institution of Structural Engineers.

We are currently developing the Springfield Campus which will be Europe’s largest construction centre of excellence. Join us as the exciting development takes shape and from 2019/20 students in the School of Architecture and the Built environment will be taught from the new campus.

Find out more about Springfield Campus.

The HNC Civil Engineering Studies graduate will be able to:

· apply appropriate theoretical and technical principles for the solution of engineering problems.

· identify engineering problems and select suitable methods and resources for effective and achievable solutions.

· demonstrate the ability to work reliably for the completion of technical and other tasks to the appropriate codes of practice.

· develop and implement effective interpersonal skills.

· recognise and adopt professional standards and obligations to society, the profession and the environment.
