- LEARNING OUTCOMES
Learning Outcomes | |
Please describe the learning outcomes of the course: Knowledge, skills and abilities acquired after the successful completion of the course. | |
· The aim of the course is to provide students with a thorough grounding in the basic principles of technical works, familiarize themselves with a range of building materials and their properties, and gain insights into their usefulness on the grounds of their cost effectiveness and eco-friendliness. Thus, upon completion of the course, students will be able to successfully select those building and structural materials that are suitable for specific technical works and simple forest engineering projects. | |
General Skills | |
Taking into account the general skills that the graduate must have acquired (as they are listed in the Diploma Supplement and are listed below), which of them is intended (for the course)? | |
Search, analysis and synthesis of data and information, using the necessary technologies
Adaptation to new situations Decision making Autonomous work Teamwork Working in an international environment Working in an interdisciplinary environment Production of new research ideas |
