EG48G1: ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING (2022-2023)

Last modified: 31 Jul 2023 11:19


Course Overview

The course is a variant of the existing EA4027 course, to be made available only to students on the Graduate Apprenticeship in BEng in Civil Engineering, and forms part of the Level 4 Honours Programme.  The variant covers the same Learning Outcomes, content and assessment as the existing EA4027 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, whether or not there is a Covid Lockdown.
