Course abstract

Diploma Project is final-skilled labor, which are presented knowledge gained throughout the study process. Diploma project developed a real building or building construction project that contains the architecture (spatial and architectural solution for distribution), engineering (structural) part and parts of the economy. The project consists of drawings and explanatory memorandum.

Learning outcomes and their assessment

• Competence: The ability to develop a construction project subject to universal design principles to develop building projects in architecture, building and the economic part, to design buildings able to develop a process for planning and construction management work for the project.
• Skills: Develop appropriate documentation of the project outline or the technical design of the composition. • Knowledge of: building materials, construction technology, buildings, structures, and the node structure, building strength and durability; s construction design foundations (concrete and stone structures, steel structures, wood and synthetic materials design) engineering fundamentals of building an organization, building economics

Description of the organization and tasks of students’ independent work

The diploma project consists of 3 terminal parts:
• part of architecture;
• part of buildings
• construction technology, organisation and economic part. A calendar plan is developed for the development of the diploma work and the attestation of each part is carried out.

Criteria for Evaluating Learning Outcomes

After the report in the pre-defense of the diploma project, a decision is made at the meeting of the institute on the compliance of the diploma project with the established requirements and forwarding it for defense.
The VPK commission makes a decision on the assessment, which is a pass with a mark.
The reviewer's rating is also included in the overall rating.
