Objectives
Partim CAE
To make the student reliable with software to dimension elements of construction made of reinforced concrete, steel and wood; such as columns, floor plates, walls, foundations, etc…
The student has to learn how to dimension an isolated construction element, also to learn to dimension the connections between elements and to dimension a complete construction.
By using the software the student has to make a reflection of the theoretical calculation methods and make an interpretation of the results obtained by the calculation of the software.
Students learn to use CAD software for Land Surveying and Civil Engineering.
Partim GIS
Acquire insight in geographic information systems.
Learning how to use and manipulate spatial data and GIS as a decision support system.
Analyse en overview of developments in the Flemish region.
Topics
Partim CAE
- to dimension elements of construction;
- to dimension connections between elements;
- to dimension a complete construction.
- Process field data, road-design
Partim GIS
- Definitions, GIS components, digitising spatial information, geocoding, georeferencing, map layers, basics of map algebra, data structures, simulations, visualisations, using ArcGis 9.x
- Practical exercises are a substantial part.
- Development and availability of digital spatial data in the Flemish region.
Prerequisites
Final Objectives ‘Stabiliteit 1’ en ‘Berekening van constructies 1’.
Basic knowledge of information technology, data structures, relational databases, map projections and map properties
Final Objectives
GENERAL SCIENTIFIC COMPETENCES [AWC2 en AWC3]
Students are able to apply scientific and technical insights on spatial related issues and know how to communicate in a clear and efficient way.
SPECIFIC COMPETENCES [SC12]
Partim CAE
The student must be able to make a good interpretation and declaration of the results obtained by the software.
At the end of the course the student must be able to make a stability study - by using software – of isolated elements and also of a complete construction.
The student can process field data and make a roaddesign.
Partim GIS
The student is able to create and update a GIS and use it in a correct and responsible way to analyse, combine and visualise spatial related data in order to support and facilitate decision making.

Assessment
Partim CAE
Written multiple choice exam.
Partim GIS
Theory: Oral examination with written preparation
Exercises: permanent evaluation and evaluation of the solutions of the given problems .
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.
