Single-Course Dansk 5 ECTS

Urban Water and Road Infrastructure

Overall Course Objectives

The course aims to introduce the student to the infrastructure of a local area, understood as roads, paths and parking, as well as wastewater supply and rainwater drainage, also based on soil conditions.

In this course you will learn to analyze, plan and design good, up-to-date and thus sustainable road and supply systems.

The students must:
– be able to familiarize themselves with the statement and regulations of a local plan,
– acquire basic skills in the design of road and traffic facilities as well as drainage systems and rainwater management.
– be able to use the profession’s digital tools for fcommunication
– and acquire tools to constructively participate in and contribute to the group’s collaboration.
