This is an academic programme suited to students with an interest in analysis and design of civil engineering infrastructure. It will provide you with the confidence to develop optimal solutions to complex problems from a knowledge of science, technology and mathematics. You will also understand the roles, responsibilities and ethical standards of your profession. You will have the ability to communicate with the engineering community and with society at large and to work as an individual and in group settings. You will have the ability to design civil engineering infrastructure and to undertake independent research.  The learning experience includes lectures, tutorials, laboratory practicals and group/individual project work. Assessment is by a combination of end-of-semester examinations and continuous assessment which takes the form of individual assignments, practical laboratory work exercises, and group projects. Our goal with this learning and assessment approach is to produce independent critical thinkers with the skills required to engage in self-directed learning throughout their varied careers.

The program, while mainly based in Chang'an University, China, is globally engaged being taught almost entirely through English with the approximately half of the course being delivered by recognised international experts from University College Dublin (UCD), Ireland. This experience is further enhanced for the highest achieving students who have the option to spend a time studying in UCD’s campus in Dublin.

1 - Students will be able to recognise the built environment and its interactions with the natural environment as a set of inter-related systems governed by scientific, mathematical and engineering principles.
2 - Students will be able to interpret, apply and use scientific, mathematical and engineering principles, data and models (both numerical and physical) to evaluate and solve defined problems.
3 - Students will be able to appraise and synthesise data and information from a variety of sources, including designed experiments, to produce solutions to problems.
4 - Students will be effective communicators, being able to i) communicate their ideas and solutions to colleagues, clients and the public using different media and ii) listen to the needs of clients, society and colleagues.
5 - Students will be able to work independently and alone when required as well as being effective team-members.
6 - Students will understand the responsibilities of their profession and the importance of high ethical standards in professional practice, along with the role and responsibilities of engineers in developing an inclusive and equitable society.
7 - Students will become independent, critical thinkers having used guided research and learning skills required to engage in self-directed learning throughout their careers.
