This module gives you an introduction to the scientific principles and a basic knowledge of the properties of materials needed to successfully complete the other core and specialist modules.
The module is designed to enable students studying construction, civil engineering or building services engineering courses to analyse, apply, investigate and evaluate scientific principles and the properties and behaviour of materials in construction related situations.
It is intended that the module be contextualised for construction, civil engineering or building services engineering and that the delivery and assessment be tailored to your particular vocational needs.
