Meng Civil and Structural Engineering with an Industrial Placement Year

The Civil and Structural Engineering with Industrial Placement Year MEng course at The University of Sheffield offers students the unique opportunity to enhance their civil engineering knowledge and skills while also gaining professional experience in an industrial placement. This four year degree course allows students to test their learning in real, job-related situations and helps prepare them for future careers within the civil engineering industry.Course Content: The curriculum of this course primarily includes civil engineering design and construction, framed within an understanding of the technical, legal and managerial aspects of engineering projects. In the first two years, students learn all the fundamentals of civil engineering, allowing them to explore aspects such as fluid mechanics, material principles, structural mechanics, and many more. The third year includes a design project and a research project, allowing students to apply their learning to practical scenarios. The final year includes a design project, a dissertation module and optional modules for further specialisation.Key Modules: Some of the key modules in this course include Mathematics, Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics, Soil Mechanics and Engineering Geology, and Structural Mechanics. Third year includes Structural Design Projects and Advanced Structural Analysis, and fourth year includes Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering, and Ground Engineering and Infrastructure.Accreditations: The Civil and Structural Engineering with Industrial Placement Year MEng course is accredited by the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE), Institute of Highway Engineers (IHE), and Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation (CIHT), on behalf of the Engineering Council.Future Careers: Graduates of this course can move on to work in various civil and structural engineering fields. They may work as site engineers, contracting civil engineers, or consulting civil engineers amongst others. Opportunities exist in areas such as consulting, contracting, transport, water, and more.
