Steel Construction (4cr)

Evaluation scale

1-5

Objective

Competence in the construction process:
The aim of the course is to provide students with the skills to apply their knowledge of steel structures in practical implementation. Students are able to describe the stages and working methods involved in the implementation of steel structures, both in the workshop and on site. Students recognize the basics of quality assurance in steel construction.
