Specialise in the design and analysis of built environment projects, focusing on infrastructure.With challenges such as climate change and resource scarcity, engineers have an important part to play in designing, planning and future-proofing our built environment - structures like bridges, roads, airports and flood defence.You’ll learn to carry out site investigations and land surveys, select materials, analyse and design infrastructure and engineering systems and plan the construction process. There’s a strong focus on sustainability and understanding the environmental impact of your work. You’ll also become skilled at using computer-aided design and specialist software.Outside of the lab, there’s the chance to join lectures given by guest speakers, and take part in two week-long construction projects.**Why ARU?**You'll be immersed in an integrated learning environment designed to foster environmentally sustainable approachesWe intertwine in-class engineering theory, in-lab hands-on experience, and on-site practical construction activities throughout our courseBring the world of work to life through [Live Briefs](https://www.aru.ac.uk/404-not-found?item=web%3a%7bE43BE3D5-C9AB-4A1C-930E-3BBCBED120BE%7d%40en), developed with regional employers to give you exposure to ‘real world’ problem-solvingOur course is developed by a dynamic collaboration of staff, students, and leading regional companies, meaning students on this course have maximum opportunity to gain critical skills for employment
