Knowledge: The candidate should have knowledge of skills needed for practical design of large and complex buildings. This will result in ability to organise and participate in team work where different professional contributions are made, such as structural design, building physics design, environmental design and fire safety design. Skills: The candidate is able to contribute in practical design of buildings. General competance: The candidate can, in collaboration with architects and engineers, contribute to design of buildings on the basis of improved knowledge of the society's needs and requirements to buildings in general.
