Unit 3 - Science and Materials

• Teach engineering science principles relevant to civil engineering, including forces, mechanics and material behaviour.
• Develop learners' understanding of construction materials such as concrete, steel, timber, asphalt and composites.
• Explain material properties, testing methods, durability, sustainability and appropriate material selection.
• Deliver practical demonstrations and laboratory activities where appropriate to reinforce theoretical concepts.

Unit 19 - Principles of Structural Design

• Teach the principles of structural behaviour and load paths in civil engineering structures.
• Develop students' understanding of dead, imposed and environmental loading.
• Introduce structural analysis, stability, stress, strain and structural safety considerations.
• Support learners in applying British Standards and Eurocodes to basic structural design problems.
• Develop learners' ability to evaluate structural solutions using engineering calculations and technical justification.
