MEng Civil & Transportation Engineering

About

This course develops the skills needed to play a senior role in the planning, design, construction and maintenance of major infrastructure

Overview

As a civil engineer or transportation specialist, you'll help create the built environment around us.

Bridges, airports, highways, buildings and railways present their own problems and challenges and need efficient and effective engineering solutions.

You'll learn the fundamentals of civil engineering and develop skills in structural analysis, transport systems, ground engineering, water resource management and transport planning.

Putting these skills into practice on a work placement you'll gain industry insights from site visits, a week-long survey camp, an overseas field trip and input from engineering companies.

Bursary available for September 2022 entry

Scottish students who start this degree in September 2022 by direct entry to Year 2 or Year 3 of the programme, following an HNC or HND at a Scottish college, will be eligible for a bursary of آ£1200 in their year of entry to support their living costs in the transition to university. The bursary will be paid in two instalments of آ£600 in September and December 2022 following successful matriculation on the programme. This is payable in addition to any other financial support that students may be eligible for. For more information, contact studentrecruitment@napier.ac.uk.

This course develops the skills needed to play a senior role in the planning, design, construction and maintenance of major infrastructure.

In year one you will learn the principles of Civil Engineering via an introduction to Materials, Structural Analysis, Construction Process and methods of Engineering Communication including use of industry standard software platforms. The formative stages of your studies are specific to Civil Engineering and are not taught as part of a common first and second year. All areas are underpinned by developing competency in relevant mathematical techniques and approaches to problem solving.

Once an understanding of the fundamental principles of Civil Engineering has been established, you will then progress on to more advance areas of Structural Design, Geotechnics, Fluid Mechanics and Transportation Engineering. You will implement practical solutions across a range of applied applications and develop your skills in lateral problem solving and innovative thinking.

In your final year of study you will develop, manage and undertake a program of independent investigation under the guidance of an associated research supervisor. You will also work as part of a team to fulfil a client's project brief relating to the development of a substantial piece of Built Environment Infrastructure â€“ the successful fulfillment of this brief will require you to utilize all of the skills developed over the course of your studies with us.
