Give yourself the best possible grounding in the principles behind civil and structural engineering, leaving your options open for a range of careers in the industry.<br><br>Research-active academics and teachers with extensive industrial experience give you a broad-base understanding in this Civil and Structural Engineering MEng making it perfect if you're not sure which area of civil engineering you want to go into.<br><br>The course integrates a strong focus on civil engineering analysis and design with the latest research on sustainable development equipping you to tackle challenges in the built environment and design innovative solutions that minimise impact on the environment.<br><br>Years one and two will see you concentrate on the core disciplines of structural engineering, water infrastructure engineering, fluid mechanics, and geotechnical mechanics, from both an analysis and design perspective.<br><br>The second half of the course follows more specialised and advanced structural engineering areas such as bridge engineering, multi-storey building design, sustainability, geotechnics and your independent research project.<br><br>During your third year, you'll spend a full semester doing the integrated design project. Youll unleash your creativity on a grand scale: devising plans for an entire urban regeneration project based on a real site in Sheffield. You'll investigate new design methods and construction materials while developing detailed designs such as elegant bridges, sustainable and environmentally sensitive multi-storey buildings, or state-of-the-art sports venues.<br><br>The course challenges you to solve increasingly complex problems building on your core knowledge with specialist modules in the final year so that you'll graduate as a skilled, competent and well-rounded engineer.
