Combining a knowledge of key theoretical fundamental principles with skills and judgement acquired from controlled practical experiences is important for the training of competent civil and environmental engineers. For some subjects, the appropriate educational experience may be had from laboratory work or computer simulations; but for others, the only really effective vehicles for integrating theory and practice are field courses and visits. A number of these are run throughout the MEng course.
During the first year there is a one-week residential Surveying camp. In Year 2 there are two one-week field trips, one in Geology, the other the Constructionarium. In addition to these, there are a number of visits associated with various elective courses offered in the Third and Fourth Years.
