CIVE40009 Current Practices in Civil Engineering - Nottingham Trent University

Assessment Brief

Learning Outcome 1: Review critically engineering principles and methods used in conditions assessment and structural health monitoring of civil infrastructure;
Learning Outcome 2: Evaluate the design and installation approaches used for various sensing systems for structural health monitoring, including any health and safety related issues
Learning Outcome 3: Comprehensively explain and critique engineering principles applied across a wide range of applications in civil engineering.
Learning Outcome 4: Appraise the design and construction processes across a range of themes and adapt techniques and novel solutions to a wide range of applications.
Learning Outcome 5: Constructively evaluate and endeavour to improve health and safety issues as they relate to civil engineering and to construction practice.
Learning Outcome 6: Explain and debate with technical and policy based evidence, complex sustainability and environmental issues related to civil engineering and develop strategies and procedures which take them into account.
Learning Outcome 7: Integrate knowledge of mathematics, science, information technology, design, business context and engineering practice and apply to novel and challenging situations to solve a substantial range of problems
Learning Outcome 8: Investigate from available civil engineering data that is pertinent to an unfamiliar problem and suggest solutions.
Learning Outcome 9: Argue on a wide range of issues associated with civil engineering, efficiently and effectively while presenting solutions to a problem.
Learning Outcome 10: Develop innovative approaches for systems, components or processes to fulfil new needs in civil engineering.
Learning Outcome 11:Critically evaluate fundamental knowledge in the investigation of new and emerging civil engineering technologies.
