Engineering 1. Describe whether the same disciplines apply to software and hardware. 2. Contrast the “traditional” ilities of reliability and maintainability with those of human factors and environmental engineering. 3. Explain why the ilities are considered a part of systems engineering rather than design.
Computational Engineering •Demonstrate competence in programming fundamentals including structure and best practice. • Apply numerical methods in a programming context to solve common civil engineering problems. • Write programs to generate data for, or solve civil engineering problems. • Critically compare numerical methods and programmes, considering computational ef-ficiency and accuracy of the results.
Researching Perspectives and Practice. Define the role of research in advancing the discipline and reviewing the types of “research” undertaken by practitioners as everyday activities. Demonstrate an understanding of the main philosophical and theoretical approaches to research methods and associated relevant methods Critically appraise the main approaches to research design, sampling, analysis and dissemination appropriate … Read more
