CONTENT, ASSESSMENT AND WORKLOAD
Content
Valid 01.08.2020-31.07.2022:
Advanced processes, methods and technologies related to lean and digitalized design process management in construction projects.
Applies in this implementation:
On
After this course, students should know basics of design theories, and theories of design process management. Students should understand Target Value Delivery and lean design methods, as well as understand the links between design, procurement and production schedules. Students should be able to collaborate effectively in multi-cultural, multi-disciplinary teams, and be able to plan and control a design process as well as making informed decisions based on a systematic decision making criteria. Additionally, each student should be able to deepen the knowledge within their discipline by working to collaborate with other disciplines.
this multidisciplinary course, to be held online (due to COVID-19), students
learn advanced processes and methods related to building design process
management in construction projects. The focus is on managing and coordinating
interdisciplinary building project teams throughout the different design stages
to ensure that design solutions are fit for purpose and comply with design
requirements. The course is based on a large, multidisciplinary project
assignment. Each student will have a role and project tasks. Mentors include
project and design managers of the real case projects, familiar with the
Owner's requirements in each case, to help steer the groups in the right
direction during weekly meetings. Additionally, there is a pool of mentors who
can review any discipline-specific questions.
Assessment Methods and Criteria
Valid 01.08.2020-31.07.2022:
Individual assignments and project works
Applies in this implementation:
80% of the
grade will be based on the project work. The evaluation of project work will
include as components:- 25 % peer evaluation by other groups
- 25 % discipline-based expert evaluation
(Evaluated by experts/mentors)- 50 % overall project outcomes and report
(evaluated by teachers and project experts)Team members
will evaluate each other in the team and assess their teamwork skills and
participation. Self-evaluation will also be conducted. The team score will be
distributed in relation to self/peer evaluation scores (based on an evaluation
rubric).20% of
project grade will be based on a personal report, focusing on waste in design
process and own reflections of teamwork and own role in assignment.
Workload
Valid 01.08.2020-31.07.2022:
Contact teaching around 30 hours, individual and group work around 105 hours.
Applies in this implementation:
Student workload
in total is 135 hours:- Lectures: 21 h (6x1,5=9 h contact time, 9 h study time)
- Weekly reading assignment: (5*1.5h
= 7.5h) (around 30pages)- Weekly group sessions (6x1.5h =
9 h)- Weekly mentoring session (6 x
1.5h= 9)- Evaluation of other group’s
project work 6 h- Learning diary + essay: 12 h
