Course offered for

  • Bachelor of Science in Construction Engineering

Prerequisites

Building Engineering, Building Mechanics and Solid Mechanics, Wood Construction, Civil Engineering, Industrial Construction

Intended learning outcomes

The course will give the student knowledge to carry out a major building project in a group from a construction point of view. The course is conducted in forms similar to those prevailing in a design office. After completing the course, the student should be able to:

  • evaluate the usefulness of BIM in a project
  • apply planning and prepare and lead project meetings with clients
  • apply collision control for given input parameters
  • use calculation software and perform construction drawings using BIM software

Course content

The course will give students the knowledge to carry out a major building project in groups from a construction point of view. In order for the course to be as realistic as possible, the work is conducted in forms similar to those prevailing in a design office. The course will also provide skills with computer support in the design work.

  • different types of foundation
  • different types of frames / frame systems
  • body stabilization
  • different types of flooring and roofing
  • write minutes and make schedules for project work
  • in a group, analyze, plan and carry out the work assigned to the group
  • plan, prepare and carry out oral and written presentation of a project

Teaching and working methods

The course is conducted in project form, with supervisors, where the students in groups of 3-4 students prepare construction calculations and construction drawings for a building. The groups have project meetings with clients / supervisors where the conditions and execution of the project work are determined.
