Description

The core of this course focuses on the complex synergy between structural engineering and the wider application of civil engineering. Participants will explore how structural engineering ensures the stability and safety of buildings while civil engineering manages the surrounding infrastructure and environmental impact. A significant part of the study is dedicated to the role of a draughtsman, focusing on the technical drawing skills and digital tools required in structural engineering today. Furthermore, the integration of CNC machining within civil engineering showcases the evolution of automated construction and high-precision manufacturing. As a draughtsman, understanding the capabilities of CNC systems is vital for creating schematics that can be executed with mechanical precision. This course ensures that structural engineering theory is balanced with the practicalities of civil engineering execution, preparing students for various technical roles.

Moving forward, the syllabus delves into the mechanical aspects of CNC programming and its specific relevance to the work of a modern draughtsman. The relationship between civil engineering projects and the precision of CNC components becomes clear as students explore structural engineering requirements for large-scale builds. A proficient draughtsman must be able to communicate complex structural engineering concepts through detailed plans that align with civil engineering standards. By mastering CNC workflows, individuals can support the civil engineering industry in producing specialized parts that meet strict structural engineering safety codes. Ultimately, the role of a draughtsman is enhanced by a technical grasp of CNC technology, making them an asset to any civil engineering or structural engineering firm. The synergy between CNC methodologies and the traditional work of a draughtsman ensures a future-proof skill set.

This is a self-paced learning platform, meaning you can study at your own pace and convenience. Additionally, each section of the course is divided in a way that allows you to easily pick up where you left off, making it easy to manage your time and progress throughout the course.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
