Objectives

Object of the course:
The knowledge and skills you get on this course you will need in order to be able to design load-bearing steel structures for demanding grade buildings, as well as you know the essential quality requirements for the manufacture and installation of steel structures.
Course competences:
- Mathematic and Natural science competence
- Technological competence
The learning objectives of the course:
You know how to design and dimension load-bearing steel structures in an ultimate-limit and service-limit state. You know how to dimension multi-axis loaded joints and tube beam trusses. You know how to fireproof the steel structures and take into account how to prevent the continuous collapse of buildings. You can take into account the qualitative requirements of the manufacture and installation of steel structures.
These are also the basic tasks of the course.

Content

Dimensioning of Steel pillar, Joints, Fireproofing, Tube beam trusses, Implementing specification.

Time and location

Contact lessons according to Time Table on the Main Campus.

Teaching methods

The course uses the following teaching methods:
- Lectures / Online lectures,

- Seminars / Workshops,
- etc.
The virtual component x credits includes:
- Interactive videos
- Online tests
Students will receive guidance
- feedback on assignments
- feedback on exams
Responsible and transparent use of artificial intelligence applications is encouraged in this course.
- The instructions for each learning task will provide further details on its use in this course, where appropriate.
The use of artificial intelligence is allowed in the following situations:
- in learning tasks (REMOVE UNNECESSARY TESTS)

Practical training and working life connections

Excursions if possible,
Company visits at School if possible

Exam dates and retake possibilities

Timing of Exams and re-Exams will be agreed on the first contact lesson of the course.

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
Preliminary task: 0 h
Contact lectures: 36 h
Interactive video lectures: 0 h
Exercise/project work to be done during the course: 95 h
Assessment of own competence/peer assessment and final exam: 9 h
Allocate approx. 10 hrs/week of your own time for this course.

Further information for students

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.

Evaluation scale

0-5

Evaluation criteria, satisfactory (1-2)

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.

Evaluation criteria, good (3-4)

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.

Evaluation 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.
