Structural Engineering

About this programme

The course is taught primarily through lectures, practicals, and tutorials. A significant emphasis is placed on project and experimental work, including site visits and field trips, which make up an integral part of the coursework. There is a continuing regional, national and international requirement for structural engineers with a knowledge of construction. The work placement in Year 4 will familiarise the student with work practices and procedures, and provide them with the opportunity to observe the practical application of the theoretical knowledge gained in their programme. The placement is supported by a member of academic staff at MTU, together with a workplace mentor. The aim of the industrial placement is to introduce the student to structured employment in a relevant work sector and to develop the student's understanding of the organisation, its procedures and technology.
