Evaluation scale

0-5

Objective

Purpose of the course:
The knowledge and skills in this course will enable you to produce an ARK data model and construction drawings using computer-aided design.

Course competencies:
Knowledge and understanding of: applicable design techniques and methods and their limitations in relation to house design.
Communication and teamwork: ability to communicate designs effectively about information, ideas, problems and solutions within an engineering community.
Interdisciplinary skills: Ability to keep abreast of developments in drawing and modelling software.
Practical application of technology: Practical skills to implement civil engineering designs.

Course objectives:
You will be able to produce construction drawings using computer-aided design (e.g. CAD, and BIM), be familiar with drawing notations and be able to use modelling and drawing software to produce data models and building and construction plans for civil engineering. These are also the basic tasks of the course.

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: 81 + 54 = 135 h
Beginning tasks in both parts: 3 + 3 = 6 h
Contact lectures: 2 h/week (total 54 h)
Interactive video lectures: 20 h
Homework that supports learning: 10 h
Exercise/project work to be done during the course: 40 h
Assessment of own competence/peer assessment: 2 + 2 = 4 h
Allocate approx. 3 - 4 hrs/week of your own time for this course.
