Learning outcome

Knowledge The students have broad knowledge of: - existing map basis, plan data, ground conditions data and data registers for planning and design work within roads. - current laws, regulations, guides, standards and norms within road planning / engineering. - planning and engineering tasks within roads at different management levels. - use of computer tools for planning and planning roads. Skills: The student should be able to: - obtain and make use of basic data in the work with road design. - apply current laws, regulations, guidelines, standards and norms in road planning / engineering. - perform simple analyzes against basic data and use database-based planning tools for modeling and construction of roads. - carry out detailed design of roads, intersections and other road facilities and be able to produce drawings using selected computer tools. - perform quantity calculations of projects and facilities as a tender basis for the execution of projects. - produce plans and projects in both 2D and 3D. General competence The students can: - convey road projects to different target groups. - reflect on their own professional practice, also in teams and in an interdisciplinary context, and can adapt this to the current work situation. - contribute to the development of good practice by participating in professional discussions within the road and water and sewerage subject area and sharing their knowledge and experiences with others - assessing ethical and environmental consequences of road design of roads.
