General competences

The Master of Science in Engineering has in-depth knowledge and understanding of exact sciences with the specificity of their application to engineering.

The Master of Science in Engineering has in-depth knowledge and understanding of the advanced methods and theories to schematize and model complex problems or processes

The Master of Science in Engineering can reformulate complex engineering problems in order to solve them (simplifying assumptions, reducing complexity).

The Master of Science in Engineering can correctly report on research or design results in the form of a technical report or in the form of a scientific paper.

The Master of Science in Engineering can collaborate in a (multidisciplinary) team.

The Master of Science in Engineering has a critical attitude towards one’s own results and those of others.

The Master of Science in Civil Engineering can design (conceptually and quantitatively), model, realize and manage concrete, steel and composite structures in the context of buildings and civil engineering infrastructures

The Master of Science in Civil Engineering can combine computational modelling methods and experimental techniques to tackle complex structural and material analysis problems.

Grading

The final grade is composed based on the following categories:
Written Exam determines 50% of the final mark.
PRAC Practical Assignment determines 50% of the final mark.

Within the Written Exam category, the following assignments need to be completed:

  • written exam with a relative weight of 1 which comprises 50% of the final mark.

    Note: For the theoretical part, a written exam is organized. No course notes, textbooks, syllabus, personal notes, calculators, computers, etc., are allowed during the exam. The aim of the exam is to check the students' ability to understand and master the general concepts covered during the course.

Within the PRAC Practical Assignment category, the following assignments need to be completed:

  • project with a relative weight of 1 which comprises 50% of the final mark.

    Note: The practical part for the finite element method consists of programming parts of a finite element computer program and a project in which a numerical analysis of an engineering problem is discussed. The project is evaluated on the base of a written report of the practical part.
