Course detail
Technology of Constructions
FAST-AW051Acad. year: 2018/2019
Technology of constructions is dealing with research, development, modelling and implementation of production processes in civil engineering. The objective is an optimum and economic manner of the execution of building structures, buildings and their complexes.
The course covers introduction into the branch of the technology of constructions, division of construction processes, their technology, spatial and time structure and optimisation of their course. In addition the students are acquainted with preparation and realisation phase of the investment process, from the letter of intent up to the passing over of a completed building into operation.

Learning outcomes of the course unit
In this course the students will acquire the elementary knowledge about the methods and procedures in the construction preparation and execution. They will get familiar with the terms used in construction technology planning, they will understand the sequence and continuity of the tasks necessary in the pre-production and production construction stages. They will get to know the complex investment process from the point of view of the individual building participants and they will get to know the reasons and possibilities of the process modeling. They will know how to define and describe the partial technological stages of the construction, they will know the importance of the quality aspect and safety matters in the construction.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of planning and designing of construction of civil engineering and utility services.
Co-requisites
Study of parallel subjects is not required.
Recommended optional programme components
Students can also choose from the wide range of seminars and lectures held by professional constructors, field trips to production and construction sites and other events organized for students by the institute. Not obligatory.
Recommended or required reading
Not applicable.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.This course is divided into lectures and seminars.
In the seminars the students will be given individual assignments and they will work on their projects. The outcomes will be checked by controlled and individual consultations with the teacher. The seminars will include two field trips on constructions, which are nearly finished.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Lecture attendance is recommended. Seminars attendance is obligatory and checked, because of the topics extension the teacher can excuse only one legitimate absence. All the submitted parts of the seminary work with a uniform layout will be put into a folder of an A4 format, the details studies will be drawn in hand.
Language of instruction
Czech
Work placements
Not applicable.
