Descriptions
This curriculum is for open UAS students. The curriculum includes first year studies and Basic Studies Common To All In SEAMK (Open UAS Path Studies, Bachelor of Engineering, Construction Engineering). There is also some personal study planning in the open university's path studies.
PROFILE OF THE PROGRAMME
Human-oriented, systematic, entrepreneurial - these are all valuable characteristics for a construction engineer. In the construction sector you have an opportunity to be an important part of ensuring the viability of the housing stock and the environment.
Construction engineers are trained at SeAMK to master and apply modern construction engineering, economy and environmental activities.
OCCUPATIONAL PROFILES
Typical job positions include construction planning, production, management, import operations, and marketing in the field of construction. You may also work as an entrepreneur. Job titles include structural designer, financial planner, planning director, project manager, building inspector, developer, property manager or foreman.
IIn addition to the basic and theoretical studies, the studies include an internship and a thesis. The students find their internship themselves and learn valuable job search skills at the same time. The students also find the topic for the thesis themselves.
The competences are:
- Competence in environmental liability and life cycle in construction
- Design knowledge of structures
- Competence in construction process
- Competence in construction costs
- Special competence in repair construction
PEDAGOGICAL APPROACH
Work and expertise demand that employees have advanced skills in information acquisition and processing, problem-solving, and continuous learning, teamwork skills as well as the ability to combine various types of knowledge and disciplines with practical work. Teaching in the Degree Programme in Construction Engineering emphasises the constructivist theory of learning where the students' active role and world of experience form a significant part of the education It is the teacher's role mainly to facilitate learning and coordinate studies.
The education is based on a variety of learning methods that support both the student's professional development and working life skills and professional competence. Studies include group work, expert lectures, laboratory exercises, company visits, learning tasks and work placements.
Development
Construction engineering studies give a formal qualification to work in supervision or structural design tasks in construction projects in accordance with the Building Act. The curriculum of the degree programme was planned in cooperation with operators in the field and the skills required by the formal qualification were considered.
Objective
What kind of society do you want to build? The national wealth in Finland is based on built environment, and the environmental impact of building has a big social importance.
To find energy-efficient solutions, use environmentally friendly materials and reduce the carbon footprint of construction projects and the built environment as a whole, we need technicians. Better use of renewable resources and the circular economy in a cost-effective way will open the door to sustainable development. Comprehensive cooperation from design to implementation ensures better quality buildings and a healthier built environment.
In your studies, you will expand your skills as a builder and developer of sustainable societies.
