Course Description: -
Course Objectives: To simulate the design activities of professional engineers; to provide students with an opportunity to broaden and deepen their understanding of the nature of the design process through practical experience; to develop competence in the technical, managerial, organizational, communicative and team-working skills required of civil engineers in professional practice; develop the depth and breadth of your knowledge and understanding of civil engineering design principles and practice in the industry; enable you to tackle civil engineering problems and design solutions in groups and individually in a way which reflects as much as possible the environment in the industry; deepen your individual knowledge and interest for specific civil engineering design disciplines while working in a multi-disciplinary design team environment; encourage the appropriate use of computer software while appreciating the limitations of modeling techniques.
