This unit explores the role of professional civil engineers, their essential involvement in the construction and maintenance of infrastructure, and the key technologies they apply. The technologies and processes of civil engineering, in the development of highways, bridges, drainage systems, substructure and superstructure, are crucial to support contemporary societies.
On successful completion of this unit students will be able to describe, analyse and evaluate modern civil engineering procedures, apply this skill and knowledge to the design of infrastructure and produce solutions to address hazards and problems encountered in civil engineering projects.
The Unit will be accredited by Pearson, using the HN Flex service and can be used to contribute towards an HNC in Construction & the Built Environment or a higher apprenticeship which uses this HNC as the training element. The participant will gain increased confidence within the scope of the subject area in the workplace and/or in interview. It will also allow participants to assess whether they would wish to develop a career relevant to the subject area.
