The module is an introduction to the principles of digital modelling in civil and architectural engineering, with structural health monitoring (SHM) being the mechanism to teach both digital methods and modelling techniques. It aims to give students an understanding of the SHM topic, since there is an ever-increasing industry demand to ensure the safety plus assess the state of health of existing structures and infrastructure. In addition, it will provide students with the tools and skills which can be implemented to develop sustainable maintenance and monitoring schemes that are critically important for professional engineering practice, via a process of SHM planning inclusive of data collection, registration and analysis.
