Key Learning Outcomes

The Degree Programme of Construction Engineering aims to give the students the basic skills needed to work in various practical tasks in construction engineering and production as well as maintenance. In addition to technology, the education emphasises applied ICT, environmental considerations as well as the abilities for entrepreneurship and internationality. All students study the basics of project management.
STRUCTURE OF STUDIES
During the first two years of studies, the students study the basic studies, scope 103 cr. The students with a vocational school background have more mathematics and physics than the students with a matriculation exam, which explains why the number of credits is different for the basic studies. This does not, however, increase the scope of the degree. The difference is taken into account as offering more options in other studies.
During the spring of the second year of studies, the students select one of the four specialisation options. The professional specialisation studies, scope 77, give the students the opportunity to focus on a specific construction field and enable them to construct their studies in a meaningful manner. The specialisation studies are mainly studied during the last two years of studies. Each specialisation option has its own schedule. The students can complete at least 5 cr worth of specialisation studies as project studies, e.g. doing R&D projects for companies. The students may select the 15 credits worth of free-choice studies from free-choice studies, the courses offered by other specialisation studies or other from other university level studies.

Occupational Profiles of Graduates with Examples

A construction project requires seamless collaboration between the various parties involved. In many tasks, the prerequisite for coping is combining economical thinking with technical expertise. Success in the field requires customer-based operation methods and service mentality, as well as applying ICT. In addition to mathematics and science, the working life requires management, relationship, communication and negotiation skills, as well as value competence. The participation in international and multicultural projects requires strong and vast expertise, language skills as well as knowledge of different cultures and the ability to work in diverse environments.

Access to Further Studies

The degree gives eligibility for master’s degrees.

Examination Regulations, Assessment and Grading

Assessment of study performances is based on TAMK’s assessment criteria
The detailed assessment criteria can be found in course implementation plans. The teaching and assessment methods are agreed on with students at the beginning of each course.
TAMK Degree Regulations

Graduation Requirements

Completion of studies and achievement of competence objectives in the extent set by the curriculum.

Mode of Study

The scope of the degree programme is 240 credits. The average completion time is 4 years. The studies are carried out as full-time studies using different learning methods.

Development of the Programme

The Ministry of Education and Culture’ definitions of policy and TAMK’s strategy have been considered in the curriculum.

• reading Bachelor’s theses
• grammar

Further information (course unit)

No alternative form of completion.
Sufficient skills in Finnish.
Mandatory participation on 50% of the classes.

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1-2) (course unit)

The student communicates comprehensibly and matter-of-factly, imitating models and instructions. The student finds sources, although their use and referencing is minimal and against the instructions. The substantiation of the claims is completely absent or modest. The construction of the text is tentative, and there are points to be made in the form and style of the language.

Assessment criteria, good (3-4) (course unit)

The student communicates in a structured and perceptive manner in his presentations. The views expressed are justified, and the sources have been chosen appropriately, the sources have been marked in accordance with the instructions. The referencing fits naturally into the rest of the text. Essential information is conveyed clearly, and the texts are fairly error-free.

Assessment criteria, excellent (5) (course unit)

The student communicates convincingly in his presentations, justifying his views in a versatile manner. He uses sources in an evaluative and commenting manner. The essential information of the prepared texts is excellently structured and summarized. The language and style of the text is controlled, following the instructions and almost error-free.
