Academic bachelor (180 credits: 3 x 60) and master (1 x 60) programme
Industrial Sciences: Building Construction Engineering (Industrial Engineer)

Erasmus code 06.4

The academic bachelor in the industrial sciences of building construction meets all the qualifications that are required on a professional level. First of all the expectations on knowledge, experience and skills concerning building engineering are met. The bachelor is capable of developing and applying theoretical models linking theoretical knowledge to practical design and implementations. The bachelor is familiar with problem solving in real life situations based on theoretical knowledge and experience. He or she obtains a broad technical basis and is specialised in building engineering. He or she obtains an understanding of 3D modelling, drawings and representations, learns how to interpret results and performs basic calculations on stability issues. The academic bachelor collects and interprets technical details on structural or building data and drawings. The academic bachelor takes into account the security and safety measurements, environmental regulations and he applies quality systems. The bachelor can perform several technical tasks in the field of structural engineering. Together with these technical competencies, the education is completed with social and communication skills.

The master in the industrial sciences of building construction is able to fulfil several jobs such as divisional head, project developer, project leader, calculator, consultant, designer, stability engineer, researcher, purchaser and engineer in civil service. He or she is capable of developing and using theoretical models and is familiar with the newest technologies. The master is capable of applying advanced design principles as well as conducting production processes, maintenance tasks and meeting quality expectations in an economic perspective. The master takes into account the security and safety measurements, environmental regulations and he applies quality systems. In short: the master practices scientific applied research in several areas, such as building materials, recycling, and building techniques.
