Objectives
Acquire theoretical knowledge in relation with properties of building materials in order to obtain:

1. the proper application of materials in relation with the construction and conception in design phase
2. recognition and proper application in execution.
3. evaluation of the material choice with realised problem constructions in order to analyse and solve the problems.

Topics
Natural stone, bonding agents, artificial stone, wood and wood products.
Glass and glass products, metal products for roof applications, isolation materials, flexible roof materials.

Assessment
Scoring system, oral examination: 100%
However, if a student gains a score of 7 or less on 20 on one of the different courses (parts of training items), he proves that his skill for certain subcompetencies is insufficient. Consequently, one can turn from the arithmetical calculation of the final assignment of quotas of a training item and the new marks can be awarded on consensus. Of course the examiners can judge that the arithmetic regulations mentioned in the study index card can also be used for 7 or less. For each deviation a detailed motivation ought to be drawn up. In that case one should point out that the skill for this subcompetency is proven to be insufficient, if the student didn’t pass the partim that is considered to be important for certain subcompetencies.
