BYVE3500 Water Engineering Course description

Etter å ha gjennomført dette emne har studenten følgende læringsutbytte definert i kunnskap, ferdigheter og generell kompetanse:

Kunnskap

Studenten kan gjøre rede for:

• polymorfisme
• designmønstre, arkitektur, og modellering
• rekursive funksjoner
• alternative programmeringsstiler i Java, som generisk, funksjonell, og samtidig (concurrent) programmering

Ferdigheter

Studenten kan håndtere følgende programmeringskonstruksjoner i Java:

• abstraksjoner og grafiske brukergrensesnitt
• unntakshåndtering, enhetstesting, og debugging
• filbehandling og strømmer
• tekstmanipulering og regulære uttrykk
• algoritmer og datastrukturer i Java Collections

Generell kompetanse

Studenten kan:

• planlegge og gjennomføre større programmeringsprosjekter i grupper
• bruke moderne programmeringsmiljøer samt lagrings- og distribusjonsverktøy

Forelesninger og veiledningstimer. Prosjektarbeid i grupper. Gruppestørrelse på 2 eller 3 studenter, i enkelte tilfeller kan oppgaver leveres individuelt (og da etter søknad). Tidsfrister og andre detaljer fremgår av undervisningsplanen som kunngjøres ved semesterstart. Det forventes at studentene følger forelesninger og øvinger.

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:

• have knowledge of; the mechanical and building technical properties of different soil types
• have knowledge of; water flows and drainage
• have knowledge of; flexible pavement design
• have basic knowledge of laboratory investigations related to road construction

Skills

The student:

• can make assessments and calculations of load-bearing capacity, earth pressure, settlements, stability and water flow
• can carry out geotechnical laboratory testing
• can design a structural sound and frost resilient flexible pavement
• can plan mass transport

General competence

The student:

• understands the basis for geotechnical design of foundations and support structures, and for geotechnical assessments in connection with. construction and transport projects in Norway
• understands the basis for road construction and is familiar with problems relating to road construction in challenging climates and under challenging ground conditions

Lectures and supervision of assigned exercises.

Self-study and group work

Compulsory portfolio submission (individual and group assignments)

The course includes laboratory exercises in geotechnics as well as a project assignment that covers excerpts of relevant R&D in geotechnics and road Construction.;

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

• 2 laboratory exercises in geotechnics, 4 hours
• Report from laboratory exercises in geotechnics; ; ;
• Note on laboratory tests related to road construction
• Practical exercises in geotechnics (2) and road construction (2). ; ; ; ;;
• Mass transport planning: report

Assessment consist of an Individual in-depth report.

The report must be written in an academic language. This means that sentences should be clear, concise, and easy to read. It is also assumed that the students make a significant effort to ensure correct orthography, and to avoid typing errors. The assignment should bewritten; on a maximum of 10 pages of text with text sizes 12 and 1 ½ in line spacing

In case of a new / postponed examination, an improved version of the report can be submitted. The exam results can be appealed

Pass/fail.

One internal examiner. External examiners are used regularly.
