Civil and Structural Engineering (Materials Testing)

Overview

The  Civil and Structural Engineering (Materials Testing) , Advanced Diploma from the Engineering Institute of Technology students will become familiar with the attributes of conventional and emerging materials. They will also study the relevant industry standards, and the necessary quality controls across construction applications.

The civil construction sector is responsible for all infrastructure and building projects and therefore plays an important role in global economies. To reduce the environmental impacts of these projects the use of eco-friendly construction materials and practices are becoming increasingly important.

Materials testing is a vital aspect of sustainable construction practices; it helps to ensure that construction projects use materials that are environmentally responsible, energy-efficient, and long-lasting. Furthermore, to conserve natural resources and reduce waste, it helps in the identification of materials that can be recycled or reused.
