Goal
- To know the complex of engineering measures and structures to ensure the suitability of urban areas for various types of urban development and to ensure optimal sanitary and hygienic conditions.
Objective
- - study of complex and diverse architectural and planning tasks solved by means of engineering preparation of territories; - study and application of engineering, planning and organizational measures that contribute to ensuring normal conditions for construction and living in urban areas; - study and application of the physical characteristics of the territory to determine their maximum suitability and effectiveness in construction; - study of ways to protect against the effects of adverse physical and geological processes; - acquisition of skills in substantiating the choice and evaluation of favorable, unfavorable and especially unfavorable territories for construction and improvement;
Learning outcome: knowledge and understanding
- Students will understand: - a set of engineering measures and structures to ensure the suitability of the territory for various types of urban development; - characteristics of natural conditions according to the degree of their favorableness for urban construction and improvement; - characteristics of the suitability of the territory for building and landscaping according to the conditions of the relief; - negative impacts of natural factors and unfavorable conditions for urban development;
Learning outcome: applying knowledge and understanding
- Students will be able to: - independently apply what they have mastered in course design, diploma design, in real professional activities: - will be able to use reference books of engineering and geological characteristics; - understand and use the lithological map; - independently develop a plan of planning restrictions; - evaluate favorable, unfavorable and disadvantaged territories and make a rationale for their choice for construction and improvement;
Learning outcome: formation of judgments
- The student will be able to make a choice of territory and analyze and evaluate their results.
Learning outcome: communicative abilities
- The student will be able to present information, ideas, problems of engineering preparation of the territory in front of an audience and experts in the subject area.
Learning outcome: learning skills or learning abilities
- The student will be able to justify the application of what has been learned in matters relating to the choice of territory and its use.

Assessment of the student's knowledge
Teacher oversees various tasks related to ongoing assessment and determines students' current performance twice during each academic period. Ratings 1 and 2 are formulated based on the outcomes of this ongoing assessment. The student's learning achievements are assessed using a 100-point scale, and the final grades P1 and P2 are calculated as the average of their ongoing performance evaluations. The teacher evaluates the student's work throughout the academic period in alignment with the assignment submission schedule for the discipline. The assessment system may incorporate a mix of written and oral, group and individual formats.
| Period | Type of task | Total |
|---|---|---|
| 1 rating | Practical work: Characteristics of the natural conditions of the urban area according to the degree of their favorableness for urban construction (housing, public, industrial). Work with tables of various characteristics of natural conditions. | 0-100 |

Evaluation form
The student's final grade in the course is calculated on a 100 point grading scale, it includes:
- 40% of the examination result;
- 60% of current control result.
The final grade is calculated by the formula:
| FG = 0,6 | MT1+MT2 | +0,4E |
| 2 |
Where Midterm 1, Midterm 2are digital equivalents of the grades of Midterm 1 and 2;
E is a digital equivalent of the exam grade.
Final alphabetical grade and its equivalent in points:
The letter grading system for students' academic achievements, corresponding to the numerical equivalent on a four-point scale:
| Alphabetical grade | Numerical value | Points (%) | Traditional grade |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | 4.0 | 95-100 | Excellent |
