Emphasis is placed on recognizing the underlying physical and mathematical principles, as well as on the practical application of these principles through the development and execution of computer programs. This approach provides a comprehensive academic framework for conducting standard finite element analysis.                        <\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Course learning outcomes<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        Starting from basic strong-form governing equations of linear but also geometrically nonlinear structural problems, the students will be able to obtain the associated (linearized) weak form on the basis of the principle of virtual displacements and virtual forces. They know about the most important steps of discretization of geometry and physics, they are familiar with the basic (isoparametric) Lagrange-type elements in 1D, 2D and 3D. The students can identify and understand the steps of pre-processing, element matrix computation, system matrix assembly, solution and post-processing in theory and source code (Python). The students will be able to distinguish stress and stability problems and to perform reliable assessment of finite element analyses to linear and nonlinear structures.<br>                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Description<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <p>Python Intro contents:<\/p>M1.

  This course provides the fundamentals of traffic and transport systems theory: it aims at understanding and managing the relationship between demand for mobility and the various transportation systems and explains how these lead to economic and societal problems such as congestion, pollution, etc.<br>The goal is to provide a broad view of transportation systems analysis covering both private and public transport systems, and to complement this overview with a discussion of aspects like congestion analysis and management, intelligent transportation systems, traffic data collection methods, and new sustainable options (travel sharing, multi-modality, e-cars, etc.).                        <\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n

Then they will validate their demand model using traffic data and finally forecast future demand to come up with planning solutions to resolve future issues. Three phases are defined. In the first month (March) they will work on the data and construct the demand model, then (April) they will use the demand model into the software and calibrate and validate the traffic model. Finally (May) they will apply forecasting for predicting the future demand and assessing potential solutions.                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n

The participants should understand the particular challenges of this industry, including the complex planning processes, the coordination of many parties involved and the strict adherence to deadlines and budgets.                        <\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Course learning outcomes<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        At the end of the course, students should be able to effectively manage a building construction project from planning to completion and apply the tools and methods commonly used to keep the quality, time and costs of a construction project under control.                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Description<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <p>Basics of project management in the construction industry:\u00a0<br>From project initiation to completion.<\/p><p>Special challenges in construction:\u00a0<br>Unpredictable factors and risk management on the construction site.<\/p><p>Important project management methods:\u00a0<br>Dealing with scheduling, cost control, quality management and resource control.<\/p><p>Use of project management tools:\u00a0<br>Presentation and application of software solutions such as BIM (Building Information Modeling), project planning software (e.g. MS Project) and collaboration platforms.<br><\/p>                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Assessment<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <p><br>Written exam (100%)<br><\/p>Students are presented with a sample project which they must use to check compliance with the targets set by the customer.

Instead of unrestricted use of fossil fuels, the focus is slowly shifting towards minimizing energy consumption or using renewable sources of energy with the purpose to reduce carbon emissions. The current configuration of the urban water cycle is, from and energy use perspective, not as sustainable as it could be. For example, more than 85% of the energy input in the total urban water cycle (drinking water production, distribution, use in households, wastewater collection and treatment) is used to heat our water. Much of this energy is simply wasted and ultimately discharged to the environment. The creation of a system with a sustainable use of energy within the urban water cycle is necessary.<\/p><br><p>This course provides the fundamentals of sustainable technologies in wastewater and sludge treatment: it aims at understanding and managing the main processes that are necessary, the consumption of energy to conduct these processes in wastewater treatment plants as well as the possibilities of energy production from wastewater and sludge. The main goal is to provide a broad view of conventional wastewater treatment technologies and new sustainable options.<\/p><br><p>In addition to the theoretical part of this course, case studies will be presented by internal and external experts, simulation tools used in practice are provided to get a deeper knowledge in interactions between different treatment processes. The course is complete by two field trips to national and international enterprises dealing with sustainable wastewater and sludge treatment technologies.<\/p>                        <\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Course learning outcomes<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <ol><br><li><br>Provide the student with a basic knowledge of transportation systems and to get in touch with the most relevant issues addressed by transportation systems theory.<br><\/li><br><li><br>Introduce the student to theoretical and practical tools to analyse traffic and transport systems, to solve traffic management and infrastructure planning and design problems.<br><\/li><br><\/ol>                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Description<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <p>I.
