Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

The degree project should constitute a part of a specialisation within main field of study civil engineering and urban management at the second-cycle level to satisfy the requirements for the degree.  This implies that the degree project should normally be carried out within Concrete Structures.

Intended learning outcomes

After a completed degree project, the student should be able to

  1. show knowledge of the disciplinary foundation of the chosen subject area and best practice, an advanced understanding of current research and development work and advanced knowledge of methods.

  2. demonstrate the ability to search for, collect and integrate knowledge in a comprehensive, critical, and systematic way and to identify his or her needs for further knowledge.

  3. demonstrate the ability to identify, analyse, assess and handle complex phenomena, issues and situations, even with limited information.

  4. demonstrate the ability to plan, and with adequate methods, carry out high-quality assignments within given time frames, as well as to evaluate this work.

  5. demonstrate the ability to develop and evaluate products, processes, systems, methods or technical solutions, taking into consideration people's abilities and needs, and society's goals for economic, social and ecological sustainable development.

  6. demonstrate orally and in writing the ability to, in dialogue with different groups, clearly account for and discuss his or her conclusions, including the knowledge and arguments that are the basis of such conclusions.
