Construction Technology Course code: TEHN | 6 ECTS credits

Basic information
Level of Studies: Undergraduate applied studies
Year of Study: 3
Semester: 5
Requirements: Completed pre-exams from the courses: Metal and wood structures 1, Concrete structures 1 and Soil mechanics and foundation engineering.
Goal: The objective of the course is to train prospective civil engineers how to create appropriate technical documentation, as well as to participate in execution of construction facilities.
Outcome: Familiarization with various construction technologiesin our country and in the world contributes to rapid application of knowledge in the field and allows graduate engineers to get on well in the construction process. Through a number of slides, films and other available modes of presentation, and taking into account a living word of lecturers, students are very well informed, directed to literature, tested through independent work and exams and they become confident in themselves.
