Dr Chris Morley - Teaching

Over the years, Chris has been involved in teaching a wide range of aspects of civil and structural engineering, from basic structural mechanics, through surveying, to thin-walled structures and stability. In recent times, he has concentrated mainly on teaching in the third and fourth years of the Engineering Tripos, to students specialising on civil engineering subjects; lectures on plastic theory and ultimate strength of structures, laboratory work on model structures and on concrete specimens and reinforced concrete beams, and on structural materials and design, and a final-year module on Concrete and Masonry Structures (with coursework on deep-beam testing and reinforcement design). Every year he offers several design and research projects for final year M.Eng. students. He is also involved in organising a final-year module on Building Physics (heating, light, acoustics) and another in alternate years on Construction and Management, and a little in the post-experience course on Interdisciplinary Design for the Built Environment which is offered jointly with the Department of Architecture. He also does a full stint of supervision of engineering undergraduates in structures, mechanics and materials in the first two years, structural engineering in year three.
