Description	This module aims to embed students’ learning and their understanding of the roles and responsibilities of a practicing civil engineer. It will mimic the annual Institution of Civil Engineering’s Communications Competition, where groups will propose a solution for an urban or rural development and then prepare the necessary materials for a public enquiry. Students will apply their engineering judgement and skills to propose a solution which they believe to be workable, and use communication skills (written, presentation and oral) to prepare a consultation strategy, deliver a presentation and answer questions typical of those raised at a public enquiry. Some groups may go on to take part in that year’s Communications Competition.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: Prepare a proposed development scheme within the brief supplied; Prepare written, presentation and oral communications as required by the competition, suitable for a public audience, and answer questions typical of those raised by the public; Prepare written and oral communications suitable for a technical audience across Civil Engineering; Reflect upon and explain their individual contribution and decision-making process, justifying the student’s choice of both communication and (where relevant) engineering choices.;
