Brief description

In the execution of construction work, the chosen construction method in very many cases significantly determines the construction process and the organisation of a construction site. The construction method thus has a significant influence on resource planning and, for example, on the planning of the construction site. The selection of the construction method depends mainly on the building materials to be used, the prevailing conditions on the construction site and the given construction design. For optimal implementation, many boundary conditions must therefore be taken into account, such as functional, qualitative, quantitative, financial and ecological aspects. It follows that each construction method places specific demands on the qualifications and performance of the personnel, on the construction machinery and other equipment and on the construction materials. Likewise, it is necessary for both the client's and the contractor's construction management to be familiar with various procedures for the sensible solution of construction tasks.

Overall workload

The total workload for the module is 150 hours (see also "ECTS credit points and grading").

Knowledge Broadening

The students who have successfully studied this module have a broad knowledge and understanding of common construction methods, both in civil engineering and civil engineering. You know the limits of the use of certain construction methods and are able to interpret and evaluate the necessary boundary conditions when selecting a method.

Knowledge Understanding

  •  

Application and Transfer

Students who have completed this module can apply the knowledge they have learned to various construction site conditions. They are able to evaluate and interpret existing information and can select suitable construction methods.

Thanks to the broad transfer of knowledge, students are able to derive and understand procedures that are not specifically covered on a scientific basis. This allows them to contribute to solving complex tasks in a team.

Academic Innovation

Students who have completed the module are able to properly process previously unknown information based on structured process comparisons in order to develop solutions for the respective construction project.
Knowledge of the essential construction processes enables you to independently evaluate and select the necessary processes.

Communication and Cooperation

By working on questions together, students are able to solve complex problems with targeted communication within a working group.

Academic Self-Conception / Professionalism

Graduates develop a professional self-image that is based on the goals and standards of professional action in professional fields that are primarily outside of academia;
They justify their own professional actions with theoretical and methodological knowledge;
can assess their own abilities, autonomously reflect on relevant creative and decision-making freedoms and use these under guidance;
They recognize the framework conditions for professional actions that are appropriate to the situation and justify their decisions ethically and reflect critically on their professional actions with regard to social expectations and consequences.
