![]() | Aims: To develop an awareness of, enthusiasm and skills for conserving sustainable coast, and planning, design and construction of maritime structures on coasts; and the understanding of water supply, water quality and water treatment. Learning Outcomes: On successful completion of this unit, the student should be able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of: * Fundamental aspects affecting coastal environments and civil engineering works on coasts. * Design of a range of coastal structures, including coastal sea defences, harbours, marinas and breakwaters. * Main elements involved in water engineering including water supply, water quality and water treatment. Skills: Intellectual skills * To understand taught material and design issues and constraints. * To apply the concepts and principles of fluid mechanics and wave & tidal theory to the solution of engineering problems. * To synthesise material from Hydraulics 1 and 2 to understand the provision of water Professional/Practical skills * Analytical and design skills related to the material covered - assessed Transferable/key skills * To communicate ideas verbally and in writing clearly. * To collect, analyse, synthesise and present technical information. Content: Coastal Engineering: Wave and tidal theory, coastal environments, coastal processes, wave transformations, coastal defences and protection, coastal structures. Water Engineering: Water supply, water quality, water treatment. |
