Bachelor programme

In the modules Building Construction I and II and the module Timber Design I, success in the course requires, among other things, the ability to independently practice the design of various structural components on the drawing board or on the computer. The design of the structural parts has to fulfil the requirements of load-bearing capacity, serviceability and durability and is carried out component by component following the progress of the construction of a building. By practicing in steps, component by component, the students learn project-related solutions in detail, which in their interaction finally fulfil the requirements of the structural system as a whole. Each subsequent construction step requires the cognitive processing of the solution of the preceding one, sometimes also in different versions. The latter is proven by course-related homework during the course of studies. They consist of a brief meeting in which the drawing results of each individual are discussed and acknowledged (without grading). In the more theoretical part of the modules Building Construction and Timber Design, it is secondly necessary to know the contents of the building regulations, ordinances, guidelines and technical building regulations in extracts and to be able to implement some of them mathematically using exemplary building tasks. At the end of the semester students take part in an exam.
