Learning Outcomes

General competences

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 present and defend results in a scientifically sound way, using contemporary communication tools, for a national as well as for an international professional or lay audience.

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

The Master of Science in Engineering can think critically about and evaluate projects, systems and processes, particularly when based on incomplete, contradictory and/or redundant information.

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

The Master of Science in Architectural Engineering has in-depth knowledge and understanding of architectural sciences and sustainable design methods and theories with the specificity of their application to complex architectural and urban design projects.

The Master of Science in Architectural Engineering can communicate design concepts and projects effectively using state-of-the-art physical and digital representation techniques (drawings, images, renderings, and three-dimensional models).

The Master of Science in Architectural Engineering can expand the scale of the design problem not only in space, but also in time – a crucial dimension of sustainable design – and to comprehend the multi-scalar effects of design interventions.

The Master of Science in Architectural Engineering can critically analyse and reflect on the historical and theoretical context of architectural and urban projects.

The Master of Science in Architectural Engineering has an integrative attitude towards using issues of sustainability, ecology and energy as catalyst for creatively rethinking conventional notions of enclosure, tectonics, and programme.

The Master of Science in Architectural Engineering has design skills and research capabilities to address spatial and temporal complexity in the development of architectural and urban projects that ensures sustainable functioning of the built environment.
