Main purpose

Professional purpose
Design and planning of a small sport or industrial building.
The project work is planned with a focus on building design and calculation of selected load-bearing structures as well as the building’s energy consumption.

Study purpose
Basic introduction to study techniques and team-based project work.

Knowledge

Effective teams
Can explain involved theories about group dynamics, teamwork and conflict resolution.

Own learning process
Can refer to involved theories of learning, motivation, feedback and study techniques

Project framework
Can identify relevant knowledge in relation to academic and technical written communication, including the report´s structure, references and source management

Can identify relevant presentation techniques for the target group, as well as use presentation techniques

Problem Based Learning (PBL)
Can explain basic elements within PBL

Can identify relevant issues and specific requirements for a problem formulation

Project management
Can identify relevant project management methods, including planning, meeting management, risk assessment and quality assurance

Professional knowledge
The students must obtain an understanding of planning and design of a typical sport or industrial building. Knowledge about principles of sustainable solutions for the construction.

Knowledge from the semester's courses must be used in the design of the project (BDE1 + KON1 + BEN1)

Skills

Effective teams
Can jointly formulate and apply a group contract in the group work

Can be part of and establish collaboration with project group and supervisor

Own learning process
Can apply knowledge of learning theory and motivation theory in connection with own learning process as well as give and receive feedback

Project framework
Can act source-critical as well as use references and source management, including rules for plagiarism.
Can convey the results of the project work and the project group´s learning process in a structured way using professional concepts, both written, graphic and oral.

Can communicate in writing and orally to different target groups.

Problem Based Learning
Can formulate a problem formulation, describe different solution options and argue for solution proposals.

Project management
Can explain the choice of and use of tools and methods for project management to achieve specific goals in the project work.

Professional skills

Competences

Effective teams
Can describe and reflect on the project group´s collaboration - including own efforts - to define opportunities for improvement for future projects

Own learning process
Can reflect on own ability to learn through the various teaching activities including the work of the project group

Problem Based Learning
Can take responsibility for the student-led part of the semester project

Professional competencies
Through design of a small sport or industrial building, the student must become familiar with the most common construction principles, choice of materials, calculate and analyze the stability of the building, its energy consumption as well as the building's design according to the building code.

The project focuses on sustainable materials and digital tools, as well as forms of collaboration

Digitization - Digital collaboration in common 3D model (worksharing).

Topics

Teaching methods and study activities

​Problem based learning (PBL) will be applied as the students work in project groups supported by process and technical supervision.

Online, video and classroom teaching in central topics followed by practical applications in class

Ongoing evaluation and feedback during the course

Product specific for education:

Model construction

Static workshop

Resources

Evaluation

Examination

Prerequisites:
Project report and Process report must be submitted before deadline.

The student's individual effort of technical topics in the project report must be specified in the process report.

Type of examination:
Group examination with individual evaluation

Group presentation, approximately 20 minutes, followed by a group examination with group discussions and individual questions, approximately 20 minutes per student including voting.

Individual grades will be given on the basis of an overall assessment of the submitted work as well as the individual performance during the test.

Internal assessment

Allowed tools:
All

Re-exam:
Students who failed a semester project will be informed by the process supervisor, who in consultation with the internal censor decides, if the student(s) must prepare a new project, or if the failed project must be improved.

The students(s) will be informed about the specific deadlines and the further course for the project work. New project groups will be formed, where possible in relation to the number of failed students at the individual semester. There will be no guidance during the period up to hand in of the project. A grade will be given directly on the basis of the quality of the improved or new submitted project. There will be no oral defense.

Grading criteria

​Grading based on the Danish 7-point scale.
