COMPUTER MODELLING IN ENGINEERING MRes FT This MRes is suitable for those who are interested in gaining a solid understanding of computer modelling, specialising in either structures or fluids. On this course, you will have access to excellent computing facilities within the Zienkiewicz Centre for Computational Engineering, including a state-of-the-art multiprocessor super computer with virtual reality facilities and high-speed networking. This course is accredited by the Joint Board of Moderators (JBM). The JBM is composed of the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), the Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE), the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation (CIHT), the Institute of Highway Engineers (IHE), and the Permanent Way Institution (PWI). Modules typically include: • Advanced Fluid Mechanics • Communication Skills for Research Engineers • Dynamics and Transient Analysis RESEARCH COURSES Entry Requirements MPhil/PhD: Typically a 2:1 honours degree or a master's degree or an equivalent qualification. MRes: Typically a 2:1 honours degree or above in a subject relevant to the area of research. Please check the website for the latest entry requirements and for further details. English Language Requirement IELTS 6.5 (minimum of 5.5 in each component) or Swansea University recognised equivalent.
• Fluid-Structure Interaction • Plasticity in Structural and Geotechnical Engineering • S trategic Engineering Management SUSTAINABLE ENGINEERING MANAGEMENT FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT MSc FT The majority of the world’s construction is now informal and located in the Global South, namely “developing countries, which are located primarily in the Southern Hemisphere” (UNDP). These new world environments face multiple challenges, from reducing extreme poverty and providing food for the expected 10 billion people by 2050, to dealing with the threats of man-made climate change and irreversible loss of bio-diversity and natural habitats. In the face of this, we urgently need to develop a new generation of practitioners who can think rapidly and flexibly and act in the absence of complete information to support and improve the quality of life for both urban and rural dwellers of the future. These practitioners will need to understand and be able to enhance environments through myriad engineering issues and develop designs in collaboration with the communities they serve. This cross- disciplinary programme will develop a new generation of practitioners who can lead this development, devising practical engineering solutions to urbanisation. This course is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET). Modules typically include: building in resilience for local communities in the face of rapid
• Circular Economy and Sustainable Engineering • Community Engagement
