Offered by
Supply Engineering
ECTS
10
Prerequisites
The students must participate in the applicable courses and the requirements of the project work must be met.
Main purpose
The urban development from first semester must now be equipped with an infrastructure to supply/handle the calculated amounts of drinking water, wastewater and rainwater. Furthermore, roads need to be designed for transport in and out of the area.
The necessary infrastructure must be dimensioned and designed in a way that takes sustainability, legislation and environment into account.
The purpose of the PBL part of the course is to promote the students' competencies in cross-professional collaboration.
Knowledge
The students must obtain an understanding of planning and design of sustainable infrastructural constructions and climate change adaptation in urban area. The students must gain basic knowledge in the processes for transporting drinking water, wastewater and rainwater. Furthermore, roads must be designed for the area.
Skills
The students must be able to design and dimension roads and pipe systems for drinking water and wastewater in the project area. The student must also be able to design and dimension installations for local rainwater handling.
PBL skills Learning Objectives:
- Be able to enforce and develop the group contract.
- Can work based on the project group's own problem statement.
- Apply covered theories on personal profiles and cross-cultural aspects in the group.
- Apply knowledge about references and source management.
- Apply academic and technical writing style, report structure and rules for plagiarism.
- Communicate the results of the project work and learning process of the project group in a well-structured manner using technical terms in writing, graphically and orally.
Competences
The students will be able to:
- Determine a road lay-out in regards to Danish Roads Standards and place utility pipes in a road and/or sidewalk
- Dimension utility pipes based on demand
- Select pump type if necessary
- Dimension the selected pump if it is needed
- Design optimal pipe network structure
PBL Competency Learning Objectives
- Describe potential conflicts in the group and suggest solutions. - Define and reflect on own learning aims from the current and previous semester.
Topics
Teaching methods and study activities
Problem based learning will be applied. The students will be participating in defining the knowledge needed to complete the project.
The project period is 15 weeks, incorporated into the schedule for the first 12 weeks and then full time project work during the last 3 weeks. The working hours for each student are approx. 275 hours.
The following courses are related to the semester project:
SE-INF1, SE-HYD1 and CE-CLP1.
Resources
Evaluation
Examination
Exam prerequisites:
Project description must be duly handed in and approved.
Type of exam:
Group exam with individual assessment based on project report and process report submitted before the deadline. Students' individual weighting of academic subjects must be specified in the process report.
Group presentation approx. 20 minutes, followed by joint examination with joint discussion and individual question rounds for approx. 20 minutes per student including voting.
Individual assessment based on an overall assessment of the submitted work and the individual's performance during the test.
External assessment
Tools allowed:
The handed in project.
Re-exam:
Same as the ordinary exam.
Based on the submitted project, the examiner gives the student guidance on necessary improvements in relation to passing the exam (possibly, that a new project should be prepared). The students are informed about specific deadlines and details of the project work. Project groups are formed if possible. No guidance is provided in the period leading up to submission.
The project is assessed at an oral exam.
