Content, progress and pedagogy of the module
Learning objectives
Knowledge
Students who complete the module:
- Must have knowledge about Problem Based Learning (PBL).
- Must have knowledge about the Aalborg model approach to PBL.
- Must have knowledge about various techniques for planning and management of the group-based project work.
- Must have a basic fundamental knowledge about analytical, numerical and experimental work for estimating the response of a simple structural part (deformations and/or stresses and strains).
- Have a basic knowledge about uncertainties and limitations of different types of modelling and testing when analyzing a simple structural part.
Skills
Students who complete the module:
- Must be able to plan and manage a problem-based and project-organized study project carried out by a project group.
- Must be able to communicate project results and processes in a coherent, structured and understandable manner, both in writing, verbally and graphically.
- Must be able to analyze and evaluate own study efforts and learning in relation to a problem-based group work with a view to continued professional development.
- Must be able to analyze and evaluate collective learning processes for joint knowledge development and exchange of experience.
- Be able to perform analytical, numerical and experimental analysis in order to obtain the response of a simple structural part.
- Be able to compare results and reflect upon assumptions and uncertainties.
Competences
Students who complete the module:
- Must be able to engage in, reflect on and optimize own participation in a group-based project.
- Must be able to consciously reflect on and develop own learning.
- Must be able to engage in, reflect on and optimize collective learning processes in relation to analyzing a simple structural part.
