Summary
Learning outcomes of the course unit The course focuses on mastering decision making and creating a concept for the technical equipment of a given area, for designing and investing activities in towns and municipalities. At the same time, it focuses on coordinating engineering networks with each other and with other stakeholders in the investment process. The student will acquire the necessary knowledge in the field of engineering networks taking into account their specific - line construction above ground, ground and underground. Further, they will familiarize themselves with the basics of designing utility networks, resources and objects and related technical standards for use at the level required for territorial management.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The aim is to familiarize students with basic technical knowledge on all types of utilities, including buildings. Basic knowledge is supplemented by more detailed technical principles and calculations necessary to deal with concepts and detailed design, construction and maintenance of utility networks.
