2. Objectives and learning outcomes
2.1 Objectives

The aim is to develop the competences needed for complex construction projects. Students will learn how IT technologies support engineering processes. They will learn the basics of building IoT networks, basic hardware components, development techniques for control, and basic requirements for smart homes. Students will get insights into practical applications of sensor networks monitoring the energy-efficiency, safety, and comfort of buildings. Students will understand how smart monitoring systems support building energy performance analysis, and sustainability goals. They will learn the basics of point cloud processing in their own development environment. Students will gain knowledge of BIM-based building surveying. The course will provide a solid basis for the complex project assignment that will follow, where students will build an IoT network and collect data in a real environment.

2.2 Learning outcomes
