Civil Engineering

ECTS

Prerequisites

Main purpose

Project work is being carried out to focus on the design, planning and execution of selected constructions. The students work with in-situ-cast concrete, prefabricated concrete elements and steel.
Furthermore, an analysis must be performed of the building's energy consumption and indoor climate considerations, as well as the dimensioning and 3D modelling of installations.
The students must relate to sustainability certifications in the building.

The purpose of the process part of the course is to promote the students' independent literature search and reference management, critical thinking as well as holistic view with a focus on the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.

Knowledge

Academic/technical knowledge learning aims
A study of typical office buildings including structural- and building services design.
Knowledge of principles for sustainable solutions in construction must be studied.
Explain BIM and the use of 3D design.
Knowledge from the semester's courses are used in the design of the project.

Effective teams
Can refer to involved theories in order to increase efficiency for the group as a whole but also for the individual student

Skills

Academic/technical skills learning aims
Apply BIM and 3D design, including demonstrating quantity extraction for further processing, collision checks and quality assurance.

Effective teams
Can plan the project group's work process and work with a focus on the group's learning and goals
Can identify and apply methods for solving basic cross-cultural communication and collaboration problems.
Own learning process
Can describe and analyse own learning process in the process report
Can search, find and include relevant knowledge
Can set and reflect on own learning objectives from current and previous semesters in the process report with a view to future improvement
Project framework
Can communicate 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 argue for the choice of sources and references in connection with the project work.
PBL
Can analyse and explain overall contexts.
Can work with a holistic view of the project, the subjects and the outside world.
Can work interdisciplinary.

Competences

Professional Competence Learning Objectives
Design and analyse according to relevant design methods.
Assess interdisciplinary elements, including e.g. plan the physical execution/coordination of installations/ventilation and the building's constructions using 3D tools
Implement/evaluate selected parts of the construction in relation to sustainable certifications in the build environment, e.g. can assess parts of the building's climate footprint.

Effective teams
Able to use experience and knowledge of own preferences to strengthen group collaboration
Can receive and reflect on guidance and facilitation of group collaboration
Can take responsibility for structuring and adapting the form of collaboration to the members' personal and interpersonal competencies
Own learning process
Able to independently plan, structure and optimize own learning process based on previous courses
Project framework
Able, in collaboration with the group, to take responsibility for the work process in connection with report writing and presentation.
Can use oral, digital and graphic project presentation techniques
PBL
Can work analytically, methodically and structured with the semester project in the project group.
Project management
Can plan, adapt and optimize a project process with reasoned selection of the specific project management tools.
Can account for the use of digital tools such as digital project management as well as digital knowledge collection tools and portals.

Topics

Teaching methods and study activities

Group work on project supported by process and professional guidance,

Online, video and group teaching in key topics followed by exercises in class.

Production of product in the form of model, prototype, program, poster or similar in laboratories and workshops. (See Training-specific product)

Ongoing evaluation and feedback in the process
Mid-term evaluation of project progress is carried out.

Programme Specific Product

Resources

Evaluation

Examination

Exam prerequisites:
Project report and Process report submitted before deadline.

Type of examination:
Group examination with individual assessment.
Group presentation approx. 20 minutes followed by joint examination with joint discussion and individual question and answer sessions for approx. 20 minutes per student including evaluation.
Individual grades are given on the basis of an overall assessment of the submitted work as well as the individual's performance during the exam.
External assessment

Tools allowed:
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.
