Objectives

>This training module aims to provide students with knowledge of principles and techniques in building and civil construction and to enable them to appreciate the builder’s practices associated with civil engineering works.

Intended Learning OutcomesUpon completion of this module, students will be able to:

1. identify relevant engineering theories and principles and to apply them in the hands-on training exercises to extend their knowledge and understanding;

2. compare and contrast conceptual design and actual work sequences and methods to become a practical engineer;

3. assess technology impact on equipment, materials and work methods to keep abreast of technology development and construction engineering practices; and

4. integrate different training experiences and knowledge to formulate appropriate and comprehensive design of civil and structural engineering works.

Practical Training Report Practical Training Report must be compiled on the special four-side A4

sheets provided by HKUST. It must be in your own hand-writing. The Report should be technical in nature, with, where appropriate,

sketches, diagrams, or charts to aid your presentation. You are required to submit the Report within one week after completing

the training module. Reports should be submitted (by group) to your

workshop supervisor via your group representative.

The Maximum grade of late submission and resubmission would be C. Normally a mark grade A, B, C and F will be given.
