Contribution to the teaching profile

This teaching unit contributes to the following compentencies:

• exact sciences with the specificity of their application to engineering

• correctly report on research or design results in the form of a technical report or in the form of a scientific paper

• develop, plan, execute and manage engineering projects at the level of a starting professional

• think critically about and evaluate projects, systems and processes, particularly when based on incomplete, contradictory and/or redundant information

• a creative, problem-solving, result-driven and evidence-based attitude, aiming at innovation and applicability in industry and society

• consciousness of the ethical, social, environmental and economic context of his/her work and strives for sustainable solutions to engineering problems including safety and quality assurance aspects

• conceive and implement design concepts by creatively integrating architectural and engineering sciences with attention to the structural, material and energy performance of buildings and structures, and their architectural value and constructability

• an integrative attitude towards using issues of sustainability, ecology and energy as catalyst for creatively rethinking conventional notions of enclosure, tectonics, and programme
