Urban Engineering

The department of Urban Engineering covers three fields; civil engineering, building services and energy engineering. The department has invested money and time to further extend the high-quality engineering workshops. Our engineering students use industry-standard lathes and Industry uses us as a centre of excellence and our facilities play a large part in the faculty's knowledge transfer activities for business.

A rare find in London, our Anechoic Chamber is a key piece of equipment in our acoustic and environment testing work. This shielded room thins sound or electromagnetic energy and is used to test radio frequency (RF) and microwaves. It can test loudspeakers for directivity and sound power, undertake binaural recording, test hearing protectors and demonstrate fundamental acoustic principles. We also have 2 sound-proof booths for audiometric screening.

Careers in Urban Engineering allow engineers to adopt their talents to develop complex systems, products and processes. The focus is kept on customer needs throughout the life cycle of design, testing, manufacturing, installation, operation, monitoring and future planning.
