They learn the interdisciplinary interaction in the planning of frame structures with the requirements

which occur in domestic engineering, building services and fit-out works.

Module contents

The following contents are covered in the Structural Frameworks and Building Services in Civil Engineering

module:

As a basis for the complete planning of a typical structural framework in its entirety in civil engineer-

ing, the students work on a component-oriented draft and measurements of different frame struc-

ture elements with the focus on solid constructions. The observation and evaluation of different de-

sign variants is trained in this as well as in the handling of up-to-date software in structural planning.

The students gain basic knowledge of technical building services and recognise connections with

other crafts within the building project.

They gain an insight in the pre-dimensioning of sanitary installations, electrical systems, ventilation

systems and heating systems and in the types of costing in technical fit-out works.

The students are able to evaluate structural systems of a building as well as materials and systems of fit-

out works, and to implement these, especially in turnkey construction, so that a functioning building can

be created within the financial framework. Another focus is put on preventing defects in the building pro-

cess, due to interfaces of different crafts. The principles taught in this module are demanded by construc-

tion managers in turnkey projects. Apart from covering principles, the problematic points in a building

process are played out with exercises. While in the Turnkey Construction unit principles are covered, the

Fit-out Works unit is practice-oriented.

Units PB23-1 Civil Engineering Project 1



Compulsory Module of Civil Engineer-ing

Overall CPs 7CP

Duration Semester 6




The students learn to organise themselves in project teams and to work on a carcass construction project

concerning statics, construction and construction management. For the solution of holistic tasks, the stu-

dents use the knowledge and skills gained in their studies and in their internship.

After completing Civil Engineering Project 1, the students are able to organise small project teams and to

structure and implement carcass construction projects in these teams and to develop independent solu-

tions.

Module contents

Structure of Civil Engineering Project 1:

The process of a carcass construction project in practice is simulated. The project teams work out differ-

ent solutions, alternatives and planning variants for different practical questions, discuss these and select

the suitable solutions.

The responsible professor from the fields of statics-construction and construction management supports

the students and is available for questions and suggestions.

The results are handed in the form of two written reports, presented to the people concerned, and de-

fended in colloquiums.

Evaluation criteria: completeness – structure: logical structure – display of coherence, creativity, which

means further development of skills already gained.
