Training provider UNIVERSITY OF SALFORD, THE Training course Civil engineer (level 6) Understanding apprenticeship levels (opens in new tab) What you'll learn Course contents Apply engineering principles to solve engineering problems: scientific, theoretical and technical principles. Apply civil engineering techniques, procedures and methods, and review and evaluate the results, including measuring and testing, designing, installing, commissioning, constructing, maintaining or operating civil engineering components and systems; consider how continuous improvement can contribute to improved performance. Employ mathematical, statistical and data interpretation tools, using analytical and computational methods, and apply an integrated or systems-based approach. Identify, interpret and compare information to select materials, components or parts used in civil engineering. Research, collect, select and evaluate technical literature and other sources of data and information to address, analyse and evaluate civil engineering problems. Produce civil engineering technical solutions in accordance with relevant industry standards, policies, codes of practice, regulations, and legislation. Select and apply computational and analytical techniques to model civil engineering problems, recognising the limitations of the techniques employed. Contribute to the design, development and implementation of civil engineering solutions, and evaluate their effectiveness in the context of the whole project life cycle. Manage and comply with statutory health, safety and welfare policies, procedures and regulation, and contribute to improvements in health, safety and welfare, within their own area of responsibility. Complete risk assessments to identify, evaluate, manage and mitigate risks. Apply principles of sustainable development and evaluate their effectiveness on the whole project lifecycle of civil engineering solutions. Manage engineering activities that contribute to sustainable development and the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs). Apply project management techniques, identifying, measuring, recording and reporting progress against civil engineering project performance criteria. Manage quality processes and contribute to quality improvements.
