2. Objectives and learning outcomes
2.1 Objectives
The goal of the subject is that the students solve a civil engineering problem the complexity of which is in accordance with the level of the MSc course and with the credit and time-frame of the subject. The problem should be solved by high level application of some analytical or numerical method (e.g., finite element method). The problem is solved by the individual work of the student, helped by a tutor.
2.2 Learning outcomes
Upon successful completion of this subject, the student:
A. Knowledge
- has deep knowledge about the theoretical (e.g., mathematical, mechanical) background of the solved problem
- will learn the options, advantages, disadvantages and application constraints of the selected solution technique
B. Skills
- is able for the high level application of the method selected for the solution of the problem
- is able to evaluate the results of the solution and to draw proper conclusions,
C. Attitudes
- is intent on the precise and error-free problem solving,
- pursues the precise self-expression in oral communication,
- aspires to prepare a well-organized high-level documentation in writings, in accordance with the expectation of the engineering practice,
D. Autonomy and Responsibility
- is intent on solving the problems autonomously.
2.3 Methods
Individual assignment, oral and written communication, application of IT tools and technologies.
