Civil Engineering - Formative Task

Abstract

This paper covers an in depth analysis of my current standing as a civil engineering student, my personality, my expectations, my personality and my future plans. The paper starts with the analysis of the civil engineering module, which is followed by my personality analysis using SWOT, my previous experience and my expectations. To conclude, a cumulative setting of both the module and my skills, abilities and personality standing is made to end the document with logically.

Civil Engineering Assignment

Introduction

Most of the students like me start civil engineering with a general perspective that, Civil Engineering is a form of engineering science and a discipline that combines skills such as design, construction and maintenance of all buildings in their natural environment, in particular, such as bridges, roads, canals, dams, and most of all the buildings, though a whole new world is explored during the studies. Civil engineering is one of the oldest sciences of engineering after military engineering. In most cases, it is a tool for the realization of the vision of architects who are the first link in the construction process.

After learning few modules of civil engineering, I along with other students realized the broadness of this field. From the smallest of the objects like studies of screws, its different materials, the relation between metal and metallurgy, construction engineering and civil engineering are explored. Different tools to measure different parameters and different theories and strategies are explored. In this paper, in depth analysis of my current standing as a civil engineering student, my personality, my expectations, my personality and my future plans is made. The paper starts with the analysis of the civil engineering module, which is followed by my personality analysis using SWOT, my previous experience and my expectations.

Discussion

Module Review

The module is based on four sections, sustainability, health, safety & welfare, clients and wider society and, the profession.

Health, Safety & Welfare

This section of the module will focus in developing the importance and understanding of health, safety and welfare in any professional working organization. The main aim of this section is to introduce the students about the laws and regulations of the state regarding health, safety and welfare and therefore, this will enable the students to understand the laws and adopt them in their professional careers.

This section will further help the students in identifying different types of hazards and risks involved in the world of civil engineering, their remedies and precautionary measures that can be used to mitigate the impact of any unforeseen accident or incident. It will also help the students in adapting to the requirements of health, safety and environment. The importance of practicing CDM (Construction Design Management), the role and responsibilities of the consultants, clients, contractors or anyone else involved in the project and the role of a Health & Safety Executive will be taught as well.

The Professions and Wider Society

This section of the module will cover the relations of civil engineering with other fields, professions, environment or ...
