Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students gain knowledge and practical skills for evaluation of construction works, ability of cost control in the preparation and progress of construction with the help of selected software products.

Prerequisites

Basic knowledge from economy and civil engineering required.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching is carried out through lectures and seminars. Lectures consist of interpretations of basic principles, methodology of given discipline, problems and their exemplary solutions. Seminars particularly support practical mastery of subject matter presented in lectures or assigned for individual study with the active participation of students.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Exam is composed of written test and defence of semestrial work. Student must gain 50 out of 100 points in written test. Credit is granted for the semestrial work – case study of selected construction work with the help of gained knowledge.
