Systems, Data and Technologies for Civil Engineering Coursework
Assignment Task
Select one of the topic areas below and produce an academic review article that describes, explains and critically reasons the current and future impact of that topic in Civil Engineering. The article should not read as a catalogue of technologies or a sequence of paper summaries. It should develop a clear line of reasoning and use the literature as evidence to answer a focused academic question.
Choose your topic area
| No. | Topic | No. | Topic |
| 1 | Structural Health Monitoring and smart sensing | 6 | Modern Methods of Construction |
| 2 | Big Data and Artificial Intelligence in Civil Engineering | 7 | Circular and sustainable practices |
| 3 | Digital Twins for intelligent and resilient civil infrastructure | 8 | Glass structures and façade engineering |
| 4 | Building Information Modelling and digital information management | 9 | Passive house design |
| 5 | Functional materials for intelligent infrastructure | 10 | Additive Manufacturing |

Your article should be focused enough to support critical analysis. A broad topic title may therefore need to be narrowed into a precise review question, theme, application area or problem.
