Single-Course Dansk 10 ECTS

Urban Water and Roads

DTU Engineering Technology

Overall Course Objectives

The aim of the course is to introduce the student to a local area’s infrastructure, understood as roads, paths and parking as well as waste water supply and rainwater drainage, and based on soil conditions.

In this course you learn to analyse, plan and project good, up-to-date and sustainable road and utility facilities.

The students must:
– be able to familiarize yourself with the explanation and provisions of a local plan and be able to use these prerequisites when preparing a proposal for the layout of the infrastructure in a local area,
– acquire basic knowledge of modern municipal infrastructure for traffic, roads, water and drainage systems,
– acquire basic skills in the design of road and traffic facilities as well as drainage systems and rain water handling,
– acquire skills in preparing projects to improve existing infrastructure
– able to use the profession’s digital forms of communication
– and acquire tools to constructively participate in and contribute to the group’s cooperation.
