COURSE DESCRIPTION
Overview
This degree is ideal to advance your engineering career if you hold a 3-year engineering degree but have no work experience.
Throughout the degree there is an emphasis on practical experience and preparing you thoroughly for the engineering profession.
Gain an understanding of the mechanics and technology of fibre composites, advanced applications of structural design and analysis, as well as the stability analysis of soil and concrete.
In addition to the hands-on laboratory sessions and 60 days industry experience, you will complete a research project and dissertation applying all your formal knowledge to a real world problem. Whether this is permanent affordable housing for developing countries or performance testing of concrete, your project will provide insight to the profession of a Structural Engineer.
The research project and dissertation can also be a stepping stone to further research degrees, such as PhD.
