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.

Period: 1

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: 1

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.

Module: 5CV014

Credits: 20

Period: 2

Type: Core

Locations: Wolverhampton City Campus

This module is intended to develop the student's ability to conduct an individual research project, evaluate observations and results and produce a final written report. The subject of the project will be civil engineering based, and can specialise in any field of civil engineering.

Module: 5CN022

Credits: 20

Period: 2

Type: Core

Locations: Wolverhampton City Campus

There is a dual aim to this module. The first aim is to develop your knowledge and application of the legal framework in which the built environment, property and construction industries operate. The second aim is to build on existing, and further develop knowledge of health and safety in the built environment, raising your awareness of the legal, personal and organisational responsibilities built environment professionals have. These aims will be achieved by the study of the legal frameworks from which legislation and other controls stem and contextualising them into a built environment context.

Civil Engineering works involve construction on or within the ground and this module provides theoretical and practical knowledge about most ground engineering works, i.e. slopes, ground support and foundations. The module will explain the analytical principles relating to the foregoing works and will cover the practical aspects which influence the selection of a particular system.

Module: 5CV005

Credits: 20

Period: 2

Type: Core

Locations: Wolverhampton City Campus

The principal aim of this module is to develop an understanding of hydrostatic and hydrodynamic principles and their application to the design and operation of water installations such as pipe networks and open channels within a civil engineering environment

The module aims are to: Provide you with a basic understanding of the discipline of structural analysis and how this is applied to the design of structures. Ensure that by the end of this module you will be able to analyse simple structures and calculate deflections and stresses. Provide an appreciation of the difference between statically–determinate and statically-indeterminate structures and teach students how to analyse some of the latter systems.
