BYTS1401 Building Technology Course description

The course will give students the knowledge required to understand and produce various types of building technology drawings, knowledge of building technology principles, choice of materials and detailed solutions, with the main emphasis on wooden houses and why these solutions were chosen. The course shall also teach students about the use of computer technology and further develop their skills in producing drawings using 3D modelling software.

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:

• knows the principles for producing drawings manually and using modern BIM tools
• is familiar with relevant design solutions and materials with the main emphasis on small wooden houses
• is familiar with how Norwegian standards NS 3420 and NS 3451 are structured

Skills

The student:

• is capable of manually drawing common graphical projections of simple objects
• is capable of producing various building technology drawings, both manually and using 3D modelling software
• is capable of choosing materials, solutions and components for small wooden houses and of explaining the reasons for his/her choices
• is capable of preparing an itemised description in accordance with Norwegian standard NS3420 and of calculating building costs using BIM technology

General competence

The student:

• is able to choose, justify, present and discuss his/her professional choice of building materials and solutions for small wooden houses

Lectures and project work. The project work takes place in groups, where the students will continue to work on the BIM model produced during the course BYFE1201 Introduction to Building Professions.

No requirements over and above the admission requirements.

Individual written exam, 3 hours

The result of the exam can be appealed.

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

• calculating exact values of derivatives using analytical methods
• using the derivative to solve optimisation problems

• explaining indefinite integrals as antiderivatives
• using numerical and analytical methods to calculate definite integrals
• explaining how the definite integral can be used to calculate for example areas, volumes, area moments, charges and other variables

• explaining analytical and numerical methods for solving ordinary differential equations
• solving systems of differential equations
• calculating with complex numbers

• calculating with vectors, matrices and determinants
• transforming augmented matrices for systems of linear equations to reduced row echelon form
• explaining conditions for calculating the inverse of a matrix
• explaining the number of solutions in a linear system of equations
• describing linear transformations using matrices
• using computer tools to solve problems in linear algebra
• solving equations using by using numeric methods

Skills

The student is capable of

• using the derivative to model and analyse dynamic systems
• discussing how the idea behind the definition of the definite integral can be used to set up integrals for calculating variables
• discussing the ideas behind some analytical and numerical methods used to solve differential equations and formulating and solving differential equations that address practical problems in his/her own field
• discussing methods of solving linear systems of equations using matrix calculations and numerical methods of solving equations, and setting up and solving equations that adresses practical problems in his/her own field

General competance

The student is capable of

• assessing the results of mathematical calculations
• explaing and implementing basic numerical algorithms by means of assignment, for loops, if tests, while loops etc.
• writing precise explanations and reasons for using procedures, and demonstrating the correct use of mathematical notations
• assessing his/her own academic work and that of other students, and formulating written and oral assessments of these works in an academically correct and precise manner
• translating a practical problem from his/her own field into mathematical form, so that it can be solved analytically or numerically
• using mathematical methods and tools relevant to his/her field
• using mathematics to communicate about engineering issues

Grade scale A-F.

The teaching is organised as scheduled work sessions. During the work sessions, the students practise using the material with which they are presented. Exercises include group discussions, individual practice in solving assignments, formulating and solving problems and assessing one's own and other's answers.

The students shall learn how to assess their own and other's academic work and to formulate assessments of them in such a way that the assessment can serve as advice on further studies. These practical exercises will take place in the scheduled part of the work sessions. Students will therefore carry out weekly assessments of exercises set for the week. Information about how the weekly assessment will take place will be given in the lectures.

The students are required to complete exercises between work sessions. The proposed exercises will be directly linked to the course goals. Self-assessment of answers will give students insight into whether they have achieved the goals.

There are no mandatory coursework requirements in this course.
