Strategic Purpose Statement |
The purpose of the Diploma in Civil Engineering (Building and Construction) (Level 7) qualification is to provide graduates the advanced practical and analytical skills and knowledge of technological principles, techniques and physical procedures required for employment in the civil engineering industry including building and construction. Graduates will possess the skills and knowledge of engineering sciences, mathematics, numerical analysis, be able to communicate effectively in a professional manner to the type of activities performed, and demonstrate professional engineering practices. They will understand the level of management required for the different types of activities and be able to formulate engineering fundamentals, design engineering systems, analyse engineering problems, develop solutions for engineering problems, understand the role of technology in society and identified issues, and able to define needs and source appropriate data and appropriate use of contemporary tools to service those needs. The qualification has been designed for learners who have already completed a course of study in civil engineering at Level 5, or who have equivalent knowledge and skills, and wish to acquire more specialist knowledge and skills in accordance with industry requirements. It will also benefit individuals who are employed in the civil engineering industry and would like to gain further credentials that will support their career
