1. INTRODUCTION
The Industrial Experience and Professional Communicationforms an integral
part of the B.Eng (Honours) in Civil Engineering course. The Industrial
Experience and Professional Communication contains an Industrial
Placement element consisting of a period of not less than 12 weeks duration
at a suitable workplace. Students are required to successfully complete the
period of industrial placement as partial fulfilment of this subject and hence
the course. These guidelines provide the necessary background information
and the requirements of the 12 week placement.
Students failing to achieve an industrial placement position will berequired to complete an industrial project (please see industrial project
guidelines).
The aim of the industrial placement is to expose students to the practical
applications of civil engineering which will enhance the overall learning

Students will be required to submit an interim report, a final report and two
essays regarding their industrial placement. The final report will be placement
specific but would typically include topic areas such as:
o Overview of thedesign brief or Scheme Function/Design Brief
o Stage of Scheme/Design Project
o Site Investigation, Site Selection and Scheme Layout and General
Site Conditions
o Site Organisation/Site Safety or Consultancy Practice
o Specific Construction/Engineering Technology (Design or Site
Technology)
o Surveying and Setting Out or Scheme Layout
o Scheme Management
o Efficiency of scheme operation
o Contract Administration
It is expected that the 12 week industrial placement period would typically
include some of the following:
o Assisting the design/site engineer/agent or manager
