Summary on Grant Application Form
Cardiff University seeks funding to develop an MSc in Geoenvironmental Engineering, drawing on the expertise of the Cardiff Schhool of Engineering, the Deaprtment of Earthc Sciences and the Cardiff Schhol of Biosciences in both Masters teaching and research. The MSc will be available as both a full-time and a part-time course and will provide a foundation for careers in environmental monitoring, environmental engineering and environmental management.The course will be structured to provide : a sound scientific foundation in environmental geotechnics, hydrology, biology and chemistry; contextual study of business management and environmental law; industrially relevant applied courses in geoenvironmental engineering applications and in depth study into environmental management practices in an individual research project.Selected modules and the industrially relevant applied courses will also be developed so that they are suitable for parallel offering as Continuing Professional Development courses directly relevant to industry, through a combination of WWW based distance learning and residential sessions.During the period of EPSRC funding, the participants will: develop and establish a new MSc course in this emerging discipline; develop the infrastructure for distance learning; develop suitable distance learning materials across the three disciplines and integrate existing Masters and CPD training activities. Cardiff University seeks to establish the proposed MSc as a flagship course within geoenvironmental engineering in the UK.
