Civil Engineering is concerned with harnessing the great powers of nature for our use and convenience. Civil Engineers create, improve and protect the environment; they are involved in overseeing large-scale projects from design through to construction and completion. Modules are assessed through either examination, coursework for example: laboratory reports, structural design submissions or a combination of these. Graduates from Dundee have gone on to achieve high level positions in most sectors of the profession. These include consulting engineers and contractors, the offshore industry and research organisations.
