Objective

Object of the course:
The knowledge and skills you get on this course you will need in order to design wood structures of the common grade buildings, as well as you know the essentials of manufacturing and installing wooden structures.
Course competences:
- Mathematic and Natural science competence
- Technological competence
The learning objectives of the course:
You can tell about the structural properties of wood and its construction products and their use. You will be able to design common grade wood structures at ultimate-state- and service-state and designing of nail- and screw joints. You can design stiffening of the load-bearing frame of a building.
These are also the basic tasks of the course.

Content

Wood as a structural material, dimensioning of structures: beams, pillars, plate stiffening, vibration of floor structure, joints of structural components

Qualifications

Basics of House Building, Strength of structural Materials

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1)

Passable (1): The student recognizes all of the learning objectives, understands the meaning of them and is able to perform the basic tasks described in the learning objectives of the course.

Satisfying (2): In addition to previous skills, the student can systematically describe the issues of the course.

Assessment criteria, good (3)

Good (3): In addition to previous skills, the student can describe the influences of various solutions and can make reasoned choices between alternatives.

Laudable (4): In addition to previous skills, the student can apply the learned issues independently and is able to evaluate done solutions.

Assessment criteria, excellent (5)

Excellent ( 5 ): In addition to previous skills, the student shows deep knowledge of course contents as well as ability to parse and wider analyze the influences of solutions.

Further information

Studification:
The Student has to show that he masters the learning objectives of the course with proof, such as f.eg. certificate of earlier degrees, documents made in working life and performances supplemented with statements.

Qualifications:
The course is part of studies that belong to qualifications of civil engineer (Ministry of the Environment guidelines on the difficulty classes of design tasks YM1/601/2015).

The studies follow guidelines of curriculum performed in cooperation with Universities of applied sciences and construction industry in 2017.

Teaching methods

The course uses the following teaching methods:
- Lectures
- Learning tasks

Assignments carried out as group work or alone (designing the load-bearing wooden frame of a detached house) are central to learning. The assignment begins at the beginning of the course and it is a good idea to carry it out throughout the course as the teaching progresses.

Students will receive guidance
- feedback on assignments
- feedback on exams

Practical training and working life connections

Excursions if possible,
Company visits at School if possible
etc..

Exam dates and retake possibilities

Timing of Exams and re-Exams will be agreed on the first contact lesson of the course.
The course orientation task must be taken within three ( 3 ) weeks of the course start date in order to maintain the right to study.

Alternative completion methods

Certification or accreditation is possible as described in the Jamkin Peppi guidelines.

Student workload

One credit point means an average of 27 hours of work. The load is distributed in different ways depending on the way the course is implemented.
-------------------
In this study period, time use and workload is distributed as follows:
Total load: 135 h
Contact lectures: 60 h
Homework that supports learning: 60 h
Preparing for exam: 10-20 h
Allocate approx. 3-6 hrs/week of your own time for this course.

Grading methods
- Test,
- Learning assignments,
- Self Grading.

Assessment is developmental, continuous, competency-based, high-quality and criterion-referenced, and student self-assessment plays an important role in that.
