LEARNING OUTCOMES
Building Construction focuses on the study and design of the construction elements and details of the buildings, so that they are functional and provide the required level of quality and safety during their construction phases and then during their use. After the successful completion of the course, students are expected to:
- know the general principles of construction and to understand how they can contribute to the projects that topographic engineers have the right to implement.
- Understand the construction phases of a building project.
- Understand the function of the load-bearing structure and the individual components of a building project.
- know the properties and possible combinations of basic building materials.
- evaluate and select the best building materials, within the framework of architectural and construction needs
General Competences
- Search, analysis and synthesis of data and information, using the necessary technology
- Decision making
- Autonomous and team work
- Project design and management
- Respect for the natural environment
- Promoting free, creative and inductive thinking
