Summary of the Profile
General Description:
Objective(s) of a study programme:
To prepare creatively thinking, communicative, responsible construction engineering specialists capable to independently plan, organize and technically manage construction works, taking into account the development of the principles of construction digitization, environmental protection and sustainability, as well as seeking to improve in professional activities.
Learning outcomes
Knowledge and its application: 1. To have a general knowledge of mathematics, physical and technological sciences to understand and describe the processes taking place in construction engineering. 2. To know the most important concepts, properties and areas of use of construction materials, products and structural elements. 3. To acquire fundamental and up-to-date knowledge of construction engineering applied in practice. 4. To know the principles of digital construction, data and process management systems and their application possibilities. Special (engineering analysis and design) skills: 5. To analyze and select structural building solutions, structural and computational
schemes, while applying logical thinking, analysis and modelling skills. 6. To analyze and apply international, European and Lithuanian standards in design and construction process 7. To apply specialized computer programmes and building information modelling principles when designing and organizing building construction processes in accordance with the established technical, economic and environmental requirements. Ability to carry out research and practical activities: 8. To collect the necessary information, systematize and interpret it when solving construction engineering problems. 9. To have practical skills in working with geodesic, building diagnostic devices and building materials and structures analysis equipment, to analyze the results obtained and to present conclusions. 10. To select and apply technological processes of general construction and repair works. 11. To evaluate and prepare the documentation necessary for the commencement and execution of construction, ensuring work safety, fire safety, environmental protection and building maintenance administration. 12. To participate in working groups in the implementation of digitalised construction projects, taking into account the principles of circular economy, ethics, environmental protection, occupational safety and health and sustainability. Personal (decision-making, lifelong learning, collaboration and teamwork) skills: 13. To have teamwork skills, be capable to communicate with managers, employees, clients and society as well as independently deepen knowledge seeking to improve professional qualification. 14. To understand engineering solutions impact on society and environment and assume responsibility for results of engineering activities.
Activities of teaching and learning:
Active teaching and learning methods are used to achieve intended learning outcomes. (lectures, laboratory works, individual projects, individual consultations, seminars,
workshops, group work, case studies, etc). The entirety of teaching and learning methods is designed to develop the future professionals’ general skills necessary for independent and creative work as well as special professional skills. Lectures, workshops, practical works, practical seminars, laboratory works, simulations, individual tasks, group work, etc
Methods of assessment of learning achievements:
Ten-point criteria-based assessment system and cumulative assessment system are used consisting of interim assessments, practical, control tasks, laboratory works report and defense, student's independent written work, course paper, individual and group assignments, presentation of results assessment. The final assessment consists of interim assessments and exam assessment in accordance with the proportions provided for each subject description.
