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 and MSc02 Urban Design Engineering education or similar.

Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

The objective of this module is to give the students an opportunity to use and test the skills they have acquired during the 1^st and 2^nd semesters by participating in projects developed in a company setting. The testing of the urban design engineering skills is attained not only through gaining practical experience, but also through the choice of a focus area for academic reflection and the subsequent investigation and illumination of this. The choice of a focus area should be related to urban design engineering skills attained in the first part of the Master program.

Students who complete the module:
