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.
Lecturer: Prof. Sieder Scope: 2V/2Ü 6LP recommended for: 1st semester (winter semester)
Qualification goals:
Students acquire knowledge of building regulations, structural engineering designs and the fundamentals of the load-bearing capacity and serviceability of buildings and are able to apply this knowledge.

Examination modalities:
The module Building Construction II is divided into the modules "Masonry" and "Form and Construction". The written examination is made up of the "Masonry" and "Form and Construction" parts to form a total examination of 90 minutes.
Qualification goals:
Students acquire knowledge of the fundamentals of design and construction, they learn how to design their own supporting structure and are able to verify the load-bearing capacity of a simple structure.

Examination modalities:
Building Physics is a sub-module of the module "Building Materials Science and Building Physics", the module coordinator is Univ.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. Harald Budelmann.
Dozent: Prof. Sieder Scope: 1V/1Ü 2LP recommended for: 2 semester (summer term)
Qualification goals:
Students learn the basics of thermal, moisture and sound insulation and gain an understanding of building physics processes and their interrelationships. They need this knowledge to develop construction details that are correct in terms of building physics and for building physics verifications.
