Goal

• Acquisition of theoretical and practical knowledge about the current state of science- engineering; to understand the essence of this specialty; about the main directions of improving methods for calculating structural elements in various branches of construction; for the ability to apply regulatory and any reference documentation used in design decisions.

Objective

• The study of the essence of the science of "engineering"; the history of the development and formation of this science of "engineering" acquaintance with the main engineering tasks solved in various branches of construction - such as: highways; urban planning; buildings and structures; artificial structures, etc.; acquisition of skills to work with normative and reference documentation used in solving engineering problems and tasks.

Learning outcome: knowledge and understanding

• The ability to use the basic laws of natural sciences, methods of mathematical analysis and modeling, the basics of theoretical and experimental research in complex engineering activities for the purpose of designing objects and technological processes in construction, using standard packages and computer-aided design tools.

Learning outcome: applying knowledge and understanding

• The ability to independently analyze educational and methodological literature, to select special sources for solving an engineering problem; the ability to conduct experiments according to specified methods with processing and analysis of results, to apply standard test methods to determine the physical and mechanical properties and technological indicators of the materials used, respectively, for each branch of construction as a whole;

Learning outcome: formation of judgments

• The ability to conduct a feasibility study of design solutions, the choice of elements of building structures.

Learning outcome: communicative abilities

• Be able to work in a team, solve production tasks; take responsibility for solving production tasks.

Learning outcome: learning skills or learning abilities

• The ability to apply modern methods for the development of energy-saving and environmentally friendly building structures, for any section of design and construction industry.

Teaching methods

Traditional technologies are provided for teaching: classroom classes and independent work of students. The lecture course is presented in the form of a short course of lectures. When presenting the lecture material at the beginning and at the end of the lecture, motivational speech is used. Text, audio information, graphs, tables, etc. are used in lectures, presentations and practical classes.

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.

The evaluating policy of learning outcomes by work type

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:

 

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:
