Civil Engineering Practice

ENGM12112 Civil Engineering Practice 10 Semester 2 Undergraduate Level 1 Mohamed Abadi Unit coordinator 1 FHEQ level (Framework for Higher Education Qualifications) ' First part HE study/Bachelors ' European Credit Transfer & Accumulation System Rating : 5.0 The course unit is designed around the content of the ‘APM Body of Knowledge – 6th&7th editions’, the RIBA ‘Plan of Work 2020’, the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, and the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) ‘Civil Engineering Procedure - 7th edition’ in order to provide students with a structured approach to understanding modern civil engineering projects.  Students will cover theoretical concepts related to project management, risk management, health and safety (in particularly CDM15), procurement, sustainability and engineering; their understanding of these concepts will be developed further through a series of three group tasks that are to be undertaken through analysis of a real-life case study i.e. the ‘Network Rail “Manchester Piccadilly Station Upgrade & Modernisation Project’.The course draws knowledge from a multi-disciplinary team of teaching staff, and civil/structural engineering professionals working within the construction industry to provide students with an opportunity to learn from those practicing the principle built environment disciplines.  The ‘live-case study’ project is used as the basis for the coursework tasks that will immerse students in the realities of professional practice through guest speakers and site visits.
