Certificate Construction Technology
Certificate Construction Technology General information The official name of the certificate program is: Certificate Building Design & Technology (Graduate School) The program is given in English. The group aimed at are the Master students of the Department of the Built Environment. Students can sign up for the certificate program by means of a registration form available at the Education Office on the 2nd floor of Vertigo. Students must also sign up for separate courses by using OASE. The program is held under the responsibility of the Department of the Built Environment. The certificate program has an extent of 15 ECTS, 5 ECTS will be additional to the regular master program of 120 ECTS. So, this certificate is supplementary to the regular master program. Content The student obtains extra knowledge and skills in the field of construction technology: the construction of a building. The stress falls on independent designing and developing of a production process for the construction of a building by using materials, equipment and labor as optimally as possible.The certificate program is focused on working methods and construction techniques, dimension quality control, process and product development and information, making a scale model and simulation. The certificate program helps the student: • to enlarge knowledge and strengthen skills in the field of malleability, dimension quality tolerance and dimension quality control • to gain profounder knowledge of and improve skills in the field of building methods and making choices in the building process • to learn independently how to translate a building design in a thorough construction scheme • to learn independently how to design a production process and the development of that process by using means of production, building timing and building costs. The certificate program includes: • 7RC80 - Time, Costs, Methods and Equipment (Semester A, Quartile 1 / 5 ECTS) • 7RC70 - Building Process Design (Semester B, Quartile 3 / 5 ECTS) • 7RC50 - Master Project Construction Plan (Semester B, Quartile 4 / 5 ECTS)

Language: • English Content During a week students are full time on a building site and study a real problem in the construction process. For this problem in the field of construction technology or building technology they develop an innovative solution. During the project the students will be executing further research on adaptive subjects, in order to interpretate and solve the found problems on the building site. The student: In the course the student learns to apply constructional and structural knowledge when solving a specific problem that occurs in a building under construction. During this process the student learns: • to analyze a problem in terms of cause and effect • to generate various solutions for this problem • to compare these solutions and to motivate the subsequent choice • to work out and present this solution 6
