Construction Engineering, Advanced Course
About
About the course
Course content
Main topics are: Construction Engineering (tunnelling and subsurface use), Production management in building and construction.
Learning outcome
Knowledge:
To convey in-depth knowledge, both theoretical and practical, in a limited field within construction engineering and production management, e.g. planning and construction of underground spaces, subsea tunnels, ventilation of tunnels, production management, productivity.
Skills:
The student is able to use relevant knowledge and methods related to the focus area, e.g. design and plan underground space, measure and analyze productivity.
General competence:
The student may perform an analysis of alternatives in a construction project. The student may use scientific literature and update herself on current research in a specific topic.
Learning methods and activities
The teaching may be given as lectures, seminars, laboratory teaching or guided self-study. Assignments and term report.
Compulsory assignments
- Compulsory exercises
Further on evaluation
Mandatory exercises must be approved before the exam. Details about the mandatory exercises will be given at the beginning of the semester.
The course assessment includes a final oral exam (50 %) and six group exercises (50 %). The results for each part are assigned a letter grade. For a passing grade in the course both parts of the assessments must have received a passing grade.
Re-sit examination is offered for the oral part only. Re-sit or re-take of the other part of the assessment must be done in the semester when the course is taught. For a re-sit of the exercises part, or to improve the grade in the course, all assessments during the course must be re-taken.
