F2. Able to communicate with the engineering community and the general public nationally and internationally, effectively use digital and virtual communication tools.
F3. Able to holistically understand the impact of engineering solutions on society and the environment, responsibility for engineering activities and apply the norms of professional ethics and engineering activities.
F4. Able to analyze the aspects of project management and business, to link technological solutions with economic consequences.
Activities of teaching and learning:
The material of all study modules is mastered during the student's classroom and independent work. Classroom work includes lectures, laboratory work, exercises and consultations. Student's independent work includes the acquisition of theoretical material, preparation for lectures, laboratory work and exercises, mid-term examinations for the semester assignments and exam, preparation of written works and projects, and other activities aimed at acquiring knowledge, abilities and skills. The study program ends with a master's final project.
Methods of assessment of learning achievements:
A ten-point criterion scale and a cumulative evaluation scheme are applied. The tasks of the semester's independent work are evaluated with a grade, the final grade is determined during the examination session, the individual grades are multiplied by a weighting factor and the results are summed. The master's final project is defended at the public meeting of the qualification commission of the study field.
Framework:
Study subjects (modules), practical training:
Methodology of experiments and research, Construction project and risk management, Building information modelling and model management, Low energy and modernized buildings, Circular economy and sustainable use of resources in construction, Geo-information technologies in construction. Research project and Master's thesis project are linked thematically The internship is not provided in the study programme.
