Content

After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge:

The student

· has advanced theoretical knowledge of structural engineering and specialized insight into how to apply the knowledge to a real design issue.

· is capable of analysing a specific topic using scientific work methods.

· has developed a comprehensive understanding of what the design of large structures involves.

Skills:

The student is capable of

· applying theoretical knowledge to solve real, complex structural engineering problems.

· using his/her knowledge to assess and develop more sustainable design solutions.

· using analysis tools and methods, and carrying out literature searches to collect, process and present relevant information.

General competence:

The student is capable of:

· working in teams and communicating his/her own work.

· carrying out a project assignment, including a report and presentation.

· preparing a project plan with milestones, and reporting interim results.

Teaching and learning methods

The course is organized in a series of intensive seminars that consist of a combination of lectures, group presentations and case discussions The students are expected to actively participate in discussions and similar in the classes.

Course requirements

The following coursework requirements must have been approved in order for the student to take the exam:

  • Coursework 1: A written literature review with a scope of 3-4 pages written individually.
  • Coursework 2: Presentation of an analysis carried out in groups. Each presentation must be 10-15 minutes long, and each group member must contribute to the presentations. The group will consist of 4-8 students, depending on the number of students enrolled in the course.
  • Coursework 3: Preparation of questions based on one of the other groups' analyses. The students must oppose one of the other groups' presentations, and create discussion in the classroom.

The aim of the coursework requirement is the development of individual and group analysis skills, as well as contributing to discussion in plenary.

The exam in the course is a course paper with a scope of 9-11 pages. The term paper must be based on a self-defined problem related to one of the topics covered by the course. The content of the term paper must be an analysis of the problem based on theory and research, as well as a discussion of proposed solutions/measures.

The term paper can be written in groups of 2 students or individually. Students are encouraged to write the term paper in groups. Font size 12pt. Line spacing 1, max 12 pages without front page, content and reference list.

Students awarded a fail grade are given one opportunity to submit an improved version of the assignment for assessment,

Permitted exam materials and equipment

All aids are permitted, as long as the rules for source referencing are complied with.

Grading scale

Grade scale A-F

Examiners

The goal of the course is to give students further specialisation in the topic, and a more comprehensive understanding of what the design of complex structures involves. Through seminars with contribution from invited researchers and experts from the consulting industry, students will be presented a wide range of topical issues relating to the analysis and design of large structures such as bridges, offshore installations, high-rise buildings etc. A project assignment is also included to give the students both theoretical knowledge and experience of applying this knowledge to real-world complex issues. The assignment shall be based on a real building and construction project or be part of a more extensive research and development project, and the project report shall take a scholarly, reflective approach to the problem at hand and include a discussion of alternative solutions.
