BYFE1201 Introduction to Building Professions Course description

The course is intended to familiarise students with engineers’ work methods as regards cooperation, organisation and oral, written and visual (3D) communication - all based on technical building requirements. Students will acquire knowledge about and skills in how to analyse, design, implement and use building technology solutions.

No requirements over and above the admission requirements.

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 is familiar with:

• Building physics subjects such as indoor climate, heat insulation, damp, soundproofing and fire safety
• load-bearing systems and design principles for wooden houses
• methods of oral, written and visual communication and presentation

Skills

The student is capable of:

• cooperating on group projects
• collecting facts, analysing, designing, implementing and applying the technologies required to solve specific interdisciplinary tasks
• planning and designing simple wooden house structures
• carrying out simple heat and moisture transmission calculations for building elements
• creating simple technical construction drawings using BIM tools
• presenting results with the help of drawings, written reports and oral presentations

General competence

The student is capable of:

• cooperating with and respecting the roles of other professional groups in a design process
• identifying regulations, instructions and documentation
• identifying sustainable performance of own profession, with the emphasis on energy and the environment
• communicating through and interpreting simple 2D and 3D drawings

Lectures, project work and computer lab modelling using BIM tools.

The following coursework is compulsory and must be approved before the student can sit the exam:

Completed lab course in BIM modelling in Revit (12 h) including two compulsory assignments. Modelling skills are necessary to be able to complete the project. Project work in groups (approx. 80 h) including submission of three sub-assignments, participation in minimum two guidance meetings, and final submission and presentation of the project.

Individual written exam under supervision, 3 hours

The result of the exam can be appealed.

This course gives an introduction to how organs and organ systems function in relation to each other and how pathophysiological processes and medical conditions start, develop and are treated. The course also includes knowledge about microbiology, infectious diseases, risk of infection and infection control related to infection prevention work. Furthermore, knowledge about pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic principles, interactions and side effects of pharmaceuticals are introduced. Pain physiology, assessment and management are also topics covered in this course. This knowledge forms a necessary basis for the student to be able to observe, evaluate and identify symptoms in current patient groups.

The course is taught in English, but Norwegian if no English-speaking students follow the course.
