Course abstract

A qualification paper is final-skilled labor, which are presented knowledges gained throughout the study process. Qualification paper developed a real building or building construction Project (preferably 2 nd group) that contains the architecture (spatial and architectural solution for distribution), engineering (structural) part and parts of the economy. A qualification paper consists of drawings and explanatory memorandum.

Learning outcomes and their assessment

• Knowledge of building materials, construction technology, buildings, structures, and the node structure, building strength and durability; construction design foundations (concrete and stone structures, steel structures, wood and synthetic materials design).
• Skills: Develop appropriate documentation of the project outline or the technical design of the composition.
• 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.

Requirements for awarding credit points

Depending on the specificity of the diploma, there may be a different description of the subject matter of the study. Development and defence of the qualification paper in the National Examination Commission.

Description of the organization and tasks of students’ independent work

A qualification paper 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 qualification paper and the attestation of each part is carried out.

Criteria for Evaluating Learning Outcomes

The implementation of the work development calendar plan is assessed, a plagiarisation test shall be carried out at the time of submission of the work.
