Course description and aims

Experience the basic characteristics of building environment, structure and materials which cannot feel in the desk works, for better understanding of the theories and design methods.
For the building environment, measurements of air conditioning, and illuminance are carried out.
For the building stricture, reinforced concrete, steel structure, material property experiments are carried out.
For the building material, tests on workability and strength of concrete, strength of timber materials and building coating materials are carried out.

Student learning outcomes

I　This course provides a method for obtaining the fundamental performance on the environmental engineering, structural engineering and building materials. Additionally it provides a technique for calibrating properties of the specimens.
II　Experience the following items.
　1．Environmental Engineering （Air condition, Illuminance）
　2．Structural Engineering （Reinforced Concrete, Steel Structure, Material Property）
　3．Building Materials （Workability and Strength of Concrete, Strength of Timber Materials and Building Coating Materials）

Keywords

Enviromental Engineering, Structural Engineering, Building Materials

Competencies that will be developed

✔ Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills ✔ Critical thinking skills ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

Students carry out experiments and measurements under the guidance of faculties and teaching assistants. Students have to submit reports of the experiments.
Students are divided into 4 groups in order to accomplish experiments.
