         MODULE: Natural Sciences and Mechanics 45.0 ECTS credits (Core studies)
      Aims
      The goals of the Natural Sciences and Mechanics studies are to develop the foundation upon which all the engineering studies will be built and to educate students in finding,
      assessing and applying essential knowledge from the natural sciences to their own field of study.
      1) The knowledge in physics, strength of materials and structural mechanics will create the prerequisites for understanding the principles of how load bearing structures work and, through that, create the basis for the knowledge essential for the structural engineer.
      2) The proficiency in chemistry will help to understand building physics and the properties of building materials.
      The goal of the elective courses is to provide students with a more in-depth knowledge of selected subjects within the natural sciences.       Show more...
      Learning outcomes
      Having completed module of Natural Sciences and Mechanics, the student will:

      1) Be able to apply physics values, units, vector algebra, differential and integral calculations in analysing and solving mechanical, thermodynamic, electromagnetic and optical problems relating to construction engineering;
      2) Be able to relate mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetics and optics to problems in the construction engineering sciences and apply them in describing and analysing environmental phenomena;
      3) Understand and be able to appropriately apply the terminology and laws of chemistry in the context of construction studies;
      4) Be able to link the theoretical knowledge obtained in the strength of materials and structural mechanics to calculations of load bearing structures and, ultimately, to apply this whole corpus of knowledge in structural engineering practice.
      Completing the elective courses will deepen the student's knowledge in the chosen subjects.       Show more...

         MODULE: Construction Process 33.0 ECTS credits (Special studies)
      Aims
      The goals of the Construction Process module are to impart knowledge
      regarding different aspects of the construction process and to develop skills for implementing Building Information Modelling (BIM) in construction projects.
      1) BIM studies rely on students having knowledge of descriptive geometry and computer graphics and prepare them for implementing BIM in design as well as in project management.
      2) Building technology, project planning, cost estimation and procurement management studies presume an understanding of the building envelope and building materials. They teach students how construction works are interrelated, provide knowledge regarding building technology, cost planning and construction site management; and prepare students for the courses in construction management.       Show more...
      Learning outcomes
      Having completed the courses in this module, the student will:

      1) Know the basics of construction technology and building machinery and be able to analyse alternative solutions;
      2) Be able to draw up cost estimates and know the basic terminology and methods of cost planning;
      3) Be able to compile time schedules for construction works, allocate resources and compare and optimize alternative solutions;
      4) Understand the role of the stakeholders (owners, designers, contractors) through the whole life of the building and be able to plan the construction process in order to achieve the owner's goals in terms of cost, quality and time;
      5) Have a fundamental understanding of BIM concepts, technology and modelling principles and be able to apply BIM tools and techniques.       Show more...
