Prerequisite/Recommended prerequisite for
participation in the module
The student must have knowledge, skills and competencies within the
urban design and engineering field corresponding to the completion
of the MSc01 - MSc03 Urban Design Engineering education or similar.
Content, progress and pedagogy of the
module
To give the students the ability to on the highest international
level make an integrated urban design project as an experimental,
technological/engineering, empirical, and/or theoretical
investigation of one or more central issues within the field of
urban design engineering. This happens with reflective
incorporation of relevant theories and methods acquired throughout
the full master program in urban design engineering.
Students who complete the module:

theme
- Must be able to on the highest international level to
understand and reflect the theories and methods applied in relation
to the practice of an integrated urban design engineering
profession
Skills
- Must on the highest international level be able to identify and
address design challenges in relation to urban development and
urban transformation
- Must on highest international level be able to analyse, map and
apply theories on a high reflective level
- Must on highest international level be able to make proposals
for design, strategies and interventions of relevance to the urban
design field applying technical challenges as a central design
element
Competences
- Must have competencies on the highest international level to
create urban design proposals in relation to urban development and
urban transformation
- Must on highest international level have competencies to
integrate mapping, analysis and theories into an integrated urban
design engineering proposal
- Must on highest international level have competencies to make
strategies, plans and designs into an integrated urban design
engineering proposal
