Goal

• To provide students with theoretical and practical knowledge in the field of modern computer-aided design of load-bearing structures of buildings and structures using modern computer programs.

Objective

• master modern methods and technologies of designing load-bearing structures of buildings and constructions using modern computer programs;
• develop skills to make design diagrams of load-bearing structures of buildings and structures to carry out static and strength calculations;
• To form students' abilities to conduct static calculations, as well as calculations for strength, rigidity and stability of load-bearing structures of buildings and structures using modern computer programs.

Learning outcome: knowledge and understanding

• Knowledge and understanding of the capabilities and limitations of the most common computing complexes for computer-aided design of load-bearing structures of buildings and structures; basic methods and principles incorporated in modern computer programs to calculate the elements of structures and structures for strength, stiffness and stability.

Learning outcome: applying knowledge and understanding

• Formulation of tasks and carrying out automated static and strength calculations of load-bearing structures of buildings and structures using modern computer programs.

Learning outcome: formation of judgments

• Possibilities of using modern information technologies in the educational process and professional activities.

Learning outcome: communicative abilities

• Ability to find organizational, managerial, and engineering solutions in production situations related to project work.

Learning outcome: learning skills or learning abilities

• Ability to use fundamental and the latest scientific and technical achievements in the educational process and professional activities.

Teaching methods

Interactive lecture, slide shows, or educational films;

Information and communication (classes in a computer lab using professional application software packages);

Search and research (independent research activities of students in the learning process);

Solving academic problems.

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:

Topics of lectures
