MABY4600 Digital Twin-Driven AI for Sustainable Building Design Course description

Foundations are the part of structures to transfer loads from the superstructure to the underlying soil and rock. The foundation design requires the fundamental understanding of soil and rock mechanics and therefore has been one major task for geotechnical engineers. This course starts with the topics regarding the foundation type and design principle and presents analysis and design methods for different foundation types under axial and lateral loading conditions. In addition, great focus is put on the application of industrial standard such as Eurocode 7 and numerical methods into the foundation design where students and lectors work through several worked examples together. Some other topics such as foundation construction and foundations on the special grounds are also briefly introduced in this course.

Forelesninger, seminarer, veiledning og selvstudier. Alle får tildelt veileder.

On successful completion of this course the students are expected to have these learning outcomes acquired:

Knowledge:

The candidate can

• discuss and describe user experience using phenomenological, cognitive and behavioral theoretical concepts
• choose relevant methods for exploration of design for experience

Skills:

The candidate can:

• organize and plan design process using phenomenological, cognitive and behavioral theoretical concepts
• implement experiments, user testing and probing in lab conditions and in the field
• design product features and service components considering experience as a key factor
• critically assess their designs, product features, service components and implications of the design intervention for the experience

General competence:

The candidate can:

• critically assess wider societal perspective about the effect of experience of products and services
• practice evaluation of ethical issues and cultural relevance when conceptualizing and developing design for experience

The most important teaching and learning methods for this course are workshops, lectures, group work, studio courses and tutoring.

The following required coursework must be approved before the student can take the exam:

• One note of reflection. Maximum 1000 words.

Individual or group portfolio examination. The portfolio consists of:

• design process documentation. Various medias if possible. Students can choose to work in groups. Maximum 3 students per group.

The examination result can be appealed.

No restrictions.

Grade scale A-F.

Two internal. External examiner is used periodically.

• 2 ECTS overlap with SYKK/SYKP1300 Pharmacology and Administration of Medicine, 5 ECTS.
• SYKK1310, SYKP1310, SYKD1310 and SKOMP1100 are fully overlapping.
