Structural and Fire Safety Engineering Meng (Hon)

Structural and fire safety is very wide-ranging and impacts our daily lives in diverse and unexpected ways. <br/><br/>You will gain a valuable grounding in civil and environmental engineering and learn how to mitigate fire risk through the design, construction and protection of infrastructure. <br/><br/>This programme builds on many of the fundamental concepts of civil and environmental engineering. <br/><br/>You will learn how to apply scientific knowledge and modern engineering tools to design, analyse, construct, and maintain all major forms of infrastructure<br/><br/>This will allow you to determine the effects of modern construction methods and materials on the safety of buildings and infrastructure. <br/><br/>You will take specific structural and fire safety engineering courses from Year 3 onwards. <br/><br/>**Why Edinburgh?**<br/><br/>This programme draws on our areas of expertise in the traditional areas of: <br/><br/><br/>* transport<br/><br/><br/>* tunnels<br/><br/><br/>* bridges<br/><br/><br/>* buildings <br/><br/><br/>and combines these areas with our unique expertise in fire safety and structural fire engineering.<br/><br/>You will also study emerging areas, such as:<br/><br/><br/>* structural engineering<br/><br/><br/>* advanced geotechnical investigation and design <br/><br/><br/>* use of novel and sustainable materials <br/><br/><br/>* advanced numerical modelling for structures<br/><br/><br/>**Ties to industry**<br/><br/>We have strong industrial engagement through our Industrial Advisory Board and industrial input to our teaching, including our design projects. <br/><br/>You will also have opportunities to interact with recent graduates who are now working in industry.<br/><br/>**Our community**<br/><br/>We offer a close-knit, supportive community to develop your engineering skills.
