Synopsis
This module uses selected topics to give you an advanced understanding of the theory and analytical tools that can be applied to Coastal Structures, Hydraulic Structures and Flood Alleviation Schemes. You will develop the ability to develop and analyse complex coastal and hydraulic structures using experimental work and to specify … For more content click the Read More button below.
Learning Strategy
In this module the learners will engage in a blend of delivery methods facilitating both individual and collaborative aspects of learning to achieve the specified learning outcomes. In particular, this will require the learner to engage with the VLE content, including extensive pre-recorded teaching and support materials, where the learning … For more content click the Read More button below.
Practical laboratories will give small groups the opportunity to develop practical techniques and relate subsequent analysis directly to their theoretical knowledge.
Students with disability will be accommodated by close adherence to the University of Huddersfield guidelines which inter alia include: (i) pre-recorded materials with captions of suitable size, (ii) Power Point slides following the appropriate font size and colour contrast, (iii) early availability of all materials on VLE – typically at least two weeks in advance.
