Prerequisites

5R00HC12 Steel Structures and Modelling or equivalent knowledge

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1-2)

The structural calculations and plans for the design exercise of the steel structural unit done independently by the student have been presented for all the required structural parts, in general there are considerable deficiencies and/or errors in the calculations and there are deficiencies or inaccuracies in the plans.
The information model of the student's independent exercise work contains the most important construction parts and their connections, but there are deficiencies in the information content of the model and its documentation.

Assessment criteria, good (3-4)

The structural calculations and plans for the design exercise of the steel structural unit done independently by the student have been presented for all the required structural parts, there are some shortcomings and/or errors in the calculations and plans.
The data model of the student's independent exercise contains almost all building parts and their connections, but there are individual deficiencies in the data content of the model and its documentation.

Assessment criteria, excellent (5)

The structural calculations and plans for the design exercise of the steel structural unit done independently by the student have been presented for all the required structural parts. Only individual deficiencies and/or errors occur in the calculations and plans, which do not have a significant impact on the whole.
The data model of the student's independent practice work and the documents produced from it are suitable as initial data for manufacturing and construction. The student knows and knows how to document the qualitative requirements of the information model in terms of dimensions and information content. The student knows how to use the information model in dimensioning calculations.
