Prerequisite/Recommended prerequisite for participation in the module

The course module adds to integrated design knowledge obtained in 1st semester of the Master’s program in Urban Design engineering. Therefore, the student is recommended to have knowledge, skills and competencies within the urban design and engineering field corresponding to the completion of the MSc01 - MSc02 level at the Urban Design Engineering education.

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 1st and 2nd semesters by participating in projects developed in a company setting. The testing of the mobilities 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 mobilities engineering skills attained in the first part of the Master .

Students who complete the module:

Learning objectives

Knowledge

• Must have practical, technical, conceptual and professional knowledge of relevance to mobilities practice
• Must have knowledge of the analytical methods utilised in mobilities practice
• Must be aware of the practice of mobilities field as a practice containing technical, societal and design based factors

Skills

• Must be able to engage professionally in the environment within which the field of mobilities takes place
• Must be able to identify a relevant and specific technical focus for subsequent investigation and reflection
• Must be able to utilise analytical and investigative techniques in the development of mobilities proposals, plans and strategies
• Must be able to work both independently and in a team setting in project development

Competences

• Must be able to describe specific problems relating to mobilities engineering and find technical, social and design based strategies for illuminating them
• Must be able to participate in the solving of mobilities engineering problems
• Must be able to make academic reflections on an identified technical, social and design focus area relating to mobilities engineering and implement previously attained knowledge to qualify it and set it into perspective
