Students who show an interest and aptitude for civil engineering should be encouraged to pursue Physics and Mathematics as their core subjects for their A-levels/IB.
By taking Mathematics and Physics, they can gain entry to a civil engineering degree at university. The other choices can be more flexible. Typical choices are:
- Chemistry
- Geography
- Design technology
- Further mathematics
- Modern foreign language
You must advise your students to consult the UCAS website and the individual universities they are applying to for precise entry requirements.
We advise you to encourage students to look for places on accredited civil engineering courses, as this will help them with becoming an ICE member.
Another fundamental area of progress in the field of engineering is environment engineering. There's been a greater recognition by numerous government authorities and also large corporations of the need to accept the concept of sustainable development. Hence, engineers are asked to discover solutions to the problems created in the past. Engineers also are helpful to build techniques that will allow corporations to use renewable resources.
