Road and VA-engineering

It will be taught in courses that are relevant to the solution of major projects in the planning and design of roads and water and sewage systems:

 Data sources, mapping, terrain modeling and land use data

 Digital drawing and design tools

 Design of roads, streets and intersections

 Design of roads, turning places, bus slots and parking lots.

 Design of the VA facility

 Preparation of plans and lots of calculation

 3D modeling and visualization

Knowledge:

Existing map data, planning data and data registers for planning and design work in the road and VA.

Applicable laws, regulations, guidelines, standard means and normals in road and VA-planning/engineering.

Planning and design projects in road and VA at various administrative levels.

Opportunities in various software tools for planning and design of roads and sewage installations.

Skills:

Obtain and make use of basic data in the work of road maintenance and water engineering.

 Apply current laws, regulations, guidelines, standard means and normals in road and VA-planning/engineering.

 Perform basic analyzes the raw data and apply data based planning tool for modeling and construction of roads and water and sewage systems.

 Undertake detailed design of roads, intersections and VA system and could produce drawings using selected data tools.

 Perform mass calculations of project and construction tender documents for construction of the project.

 Prepare plans and projects, both in 2D and 3D.

General competence:

The candidate can communicate road and VA project to different audiences both written and oral.

The candidate can reflect on their professional practice, including team and in an interdisciplinary context, and adapt it to the current work situation.

The candidate can contribute to the development of good practice by participating in discussions within the road and VA-field and share their knowledge and experiences with others.

Lectures, exercises, projects and group work.Tuition generally use the principles of problem-based learning with the implementation of major projects. Lectures and exercises for the course will primarily provide candidate basis and conditions for learning through their own projects. Some of the projects addressed through teamwork where candidates themselves organize the project work. Designing tasks is multidisciplinary in nature and may be relevant issues in cooperation with adjacent municipalities and agencies. 

Mandatory assignments:

Digital working folder (portfolio) that will contain mandatory work requirements of the semester. Tasks will be announced on e-learning tools. The tasks will be related to the subject themes and can be individual or group work tasks.The portfolio should contain up to 5 theoretical and practical exercises (individual or group).
