Description

In this degree program, engineers are trained for many different tasks related to construction and a sustainable development of society's built environment.

The engineering profession is technically focused, but also human-minded. This is because the work is always carried out in collaboration with many other professional groups involved in joint projects.

In addition to building technology and materials, the studies include: economics, environmental aspects, leadership, project work and individual work as well as sustainability in construction and social development. In this engineering program, students specialize in the structural design of buildings, i.e. to create and dimension the structural solutions that enable both ordinary and large extraordinary buildings in both concrete steel and wood.

The studies in the program are realized through lectures and exercises, both in groups and independently. It also includes excursions and compulsory internships and corporate studies for all engineering students in leading consulting companies in the industry. Partly included are virtual studies. The corporate studies are usually located in the metropolitan area or other major cities.

The central part of the studies is that they prepare you to have a central role in the construction industry in creating a sustainable and climate-smart society. The characteristic of the engineering profession is that you have to work long-term with issues of crucial importance for sustainable development. The result of the work is lasting for many decades.

Objective

The student learns sufficient knowledge in building and civil engineering to understand and master engineering tasks in building planning and production, development of construction, structural engineering, management of construction projects and economic thinking. The student understands his central role as an engineer in the construction industry to create a sustainable and climate-smarter society.

The student understands and masters engineering tasks both for new construction and how to improve energy efficiency and, based on circular economy, sustainably develop the already built environment throughout its life cycle using, among other things, building information models.

The student can choose either STRUCTURAL DESIGN or HVAC DESIGN as his specialization.

Within the field of STRUCTURAL DESIGN, the student learns to understand and master the demanding structural engineering of concrete, wood and steel structures in order to create and dimension the construction engineering solutions that enable stable, safe, healthy and ecologically sustainable buildings.

Within the specialization HVAC planning, the student learns to understand and master the demanding planning of HVAC and building technology as well as automation in the buildings to ensure that there will be healthy houses with a good indoor climate and technically correct and ecologically sustainable heating, cooling, water supply, and ventilation system.
