Objective

Purpose of the course:
The knowledge and skills you will need in this course will enable you to design structures of a standard level of sophistication in steel and also to know the most relevant issues related to the fabrication and installation of steel structures.

The competences of the course:
Knowledge and understanding: knowledge and understanding of the appropriate materials, equipment, tools, technologies and processes and their limitations in your area of specialisation.
Communication and teamwork: the ability to work effectively as an individual, team member and entrepreneur.
Interdisciplinary competences: ability to identify and commit to the need for independent lifelong learning. Ability to assess and develop skills and learning styles in a variety of learning environments.
Practical application of technology: Ability to apply technical standards and established guidelines for professional practices in one's field.

Course objective:
You will be able to explain the structural properties of steel and steel construction products and their uses. You will be able to design steel structures of a standard level of sophistication for fracture and service boundary conditions, including methods of fire protection and corrosion protection. You will be able to explain the most relevant issues related to the fabrication and installation of steel structures.
These are also the basic tasks of the course.
