**Modules or disciplines**:

- ** Civil Engineering Design 1A**

The purpose of this module is to introduce students to graphical skills and basic sketching for engineers, basic IT skills and professional communication. Central to this module are design projects that enable students to build engineering knowledge and a lexicon around the various civil engineering disciplines.
- ** Engineering Chemistry 1A**

The purpose of this module is to provide students with foundational knowledge of chemistry applicable to engineering. Students will focus on the fundamentals of matter and bonding between elements. This is expanded to include the basics of chemical equilibrium, thermodynamics and the effect of acidity or basicity on materials.
- ** Engineering Mathematics 1A**

The purpose of this module is for students to develop a strong foundation in mathematics. Mathematical methods and concepts will be developed to mathematically describe and solve basic engineering problems.
- ** Engineering Physics 1A**
- ** Society and Practice 1A**

The purpose of this module is to introduce students to the history of engineering and to develop essential skills, including collaboration, communication and critical thinking skills for engineers. It also introduces the context of sustainability challenges within engineering.
- ** Civil Engineering Design 2A**

The purpose of this module is to develop students' intermediate engineering drawing skills, graphical representation abilities, and refined technical communication and report writing skills within the framework of typical civil engineering practices and projects.
- ** Engineering Materials 2A**

The purpose of this module is to provide students with an introduction to the fundamental concepts of materials used in engineering projects. Furthermore, it will guide students as to the behaviour, suitability, and sustainability of construction materials.
- ** Engineering Mathematics 2A**

Mathematical methods and concepts will be further expanded to enable students to mathematically describe and solve intermediate to advanced engineering problems.
- ** Engineering Mechanics 2A**

The purpose of this module is to introduce students to solid mechanics theorems and concepts relating to the strength of materials.
- ** Society and Practice 2A**

The purpose of this module is to further develop students' knowledge of the history of engineering and its evolution. It builds on the legal frameworks, accounting principles, professional skills and the philosophy of sustainable developme
