or courses providing equivalent learning outcomes.

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:

· has advanced theoretical knowledge of building technology and specialized insight into how to apply this knowledge to a real technical building issue.

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

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

Skills:

The student is capable of:

· applying theoretical knowledge in the field to solve real complex technical building problems.

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

· using analysis tools and methods, and carrying out literature searches for the purpose of collecting, processing and presenting 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.

The teaching will consist of seminars with guest lecturers, discussions and presentations. The students will be given individual assignments relating to the topics of the seminars (reflection notes) and a bigger group-based project assignment. To allow for specialization the students will prepare an individual in-depth report related to one of the reflection notes. The students present their reports in one of the seminars.

The students must have attended at least three of four seminars and have individual reflection notes approved (approx. 5-7 pages per note) linked to the seminars they have attended. Students who fail to meet the coursework requirements can be given up to one opportunity to resubmit reflection notes before the exam.

Portfolio assessment subject to the following requirements:

1) Project report prepared in groups of 2-4 students, approx. 50-75 pages, with oral presentation, weighted approx. 70 %

2) Individual in-depth report, approx. 10-15 pages, weighted approx. 30 %

Each student's work will be assessed together as a portfolio with one individual grade at the end of the semester, but the two parts that make up the portfolio must be assessed as 'pass' in order for the student to pass the course. The weights are approximate and included here to provide additional information to the students on how their work is assessed. Detailed guidelines for the project assignments will be published in Canvas.

The overall assessment cannot be appealed. Formal errors can be appealed. If a student fails the portfolio assessment, he/she is given one opportunity to resubmit the portfolio.

All aids are permitted.

A grade scale with grades from A to E for pass (with A being the highest grade and E being the lowest pass grade) and F for fail is used in connection with the final assessment.

Two internal examiners.

External examiners are used regularly.
