Beng Engineering (Civil and Environmental)

The Civil and Environmental Engineering BEng Hons is a full-time, undergraduate course offered by the University of Aberdeen. It is a mix of Civil Engineering and Environmental Science that provides students with technical skills as well as a strong understanding of environmental sustainability. Course Content: The course is structured over four years, and each year, the depth of the student's understanding is enriched by various subjects, practicals, and theoretical concepts. The first year contains broad topics that provide an introduction to engineering with courses from across the engineering disciplines, math, and physical sciences. From the second year, the course content becomes more specific with focused modules on environmental geotechnics, water, and rural engineering. In third & fourth years, students deepen their understanding and specialize further in subjects like hydrocarbon production, civil and environmental engineering, etc. Students also undertake design and research project work in their final year. Key Modules: The key areas covered include Structures, Geotechnics, Hydraulics, Maths, Design and Projects, Hydrocarbon production, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Materials, and Project Management. Accreditations: The degree is accredited by the Joint Board of Moderators (JBM) comprising the Institution of Civil Engineers, The Institution of Structural Engineers, the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation and the Institute of Highway Engineers. Future Careers: Graduates from this course can work across several industries like Civil Engineering, Environmental & Sustainability advisor, Construction, Energy as well as academia. The graduates are in high demand due to a skills shortage in this area. They are sought by employers for their ability to combine technical skills with an understanding of environmental sustainability.
