CIVL6001: Civil Engineering in a Changing Climate
2025 unit information
This unit of study uses a data driven approach to explore the impact of climate change in civil engineering design. Students will study the most up to date assessments of the impacts of climate change on our environment, while simultaneously developing the analytical skills to quantify the impacts of climate change for infrastructure design. The student’s ability to apply their learnings will be evaluated through a series submitted technical reports assessing the impact of climate change on a hypothetical engineering project.
