The course is a variant of the existing EA3027 course, to be made available only to students on the Graduate Apprenticeship in BEng in Civil Engineering, and forms part of the Level 3 Honours Programme. The variant covers the same Learning Outcomes, content and assessment as the existing EA3027 course. This variant is, however, to be taught over the summer period, as part of the spreading out of teaching load for the Graduate Apprenticeship students. Furthermore, for these students the delivery model is a blended model, whatever or not there is a Covid Lockdown.

The course provides an introduction to engineering geology covering topics such as the formation and classification of rocks, weathering processes, plate tectonics, aggregates, groundwater, fluvial and coastal processes and site investigation. The main part of the course is devoted to a study of the engineering behaviour of soils. This commences with origin of soil through the introduction to soil classification and a description of the phase composition of soils. Site investigation, consolidation, shear strength and critical states of soils are also covered.
Information on contact teaching time is available from the course guide.

Whichever of the two assessments whose failure has contributed to the overall failure of the course will have to be resat. The weighting of the resat elements will be as they had been previously – therefore for this Coursework the weighting will be 50%. The marks for the resat element will be incorporated with the marks for a previously passed assessment to produce an overall resit mark. Individualised feedback available to student on request |
