Learning outcomes:
Knowledge _ After successfully completing this module, students will:
_ be able to use scientific methods to deepen their knowledge of organizational theory, virtual realities, digital building models (BIM) and their interaction.
Skills _ After successfully completing this module, students will:
_ be able to combine construction site processes into one and design a new concept on the basis of digital building models (synthesis),
_ be able to evaluate, explain and discuss comprehensive subject-specific concepts and plans. They will be able to form an opinion in order to solve a task correctly (evaluation).
Competences _ After successfully completing this module, students will be able to,
_ plan independently and with foresight, set priorities and adhere to a given time frame (organization),
_ understand and classify extensive and complex issues and boil them down to the most important core aspects (analysis),
_ work independently on specific tasks and problems (independence),
_ examine their own organizational structures and covert it into a portfolio of tasks with varying degrees of difficulty (management),
