Relationship with work field
The content of the course responds to the current needs of the work field.
Relationship with research
The Construction Engineering Research Group of Hasselt University develops important research activities dealing with the development and implementation of integrated structural solutions that make use of concrete. These activities are carried out at an international level. This brings a high added value to the educational program.
Sustainability
Concrete and its environmental aspects are key points of the course. |

- EC
| 5.2. The master of education is a domain expert ENG & TECH: the EM has a specialised knowledge and understanding of the acquired subject didactics and can creatively conceive, plan and implement them in an educational context and, in particular, as an integrated part of a methodologically and project-based ordered series of actions within a multidisciplinary STEM project with an important research and/or innovation component. | - EC
| 5.3. The master of education is a domain expert ENG & TECH: the EM has advanced or specialised knowledge and understanding of the principles, structure and used technologies of various industrial processes and techniques relevant to the specific subject disciplines and can autonomously recognise, critically analyse and methodically and well-foundedly solve complex, multidisciplinary, non-familiar, practice-oriented design or optimisation problems in these, with an eye for application, selection of materials, automation, safety, environment and sustainability, aware of practical limitations and with attention to current technological developments. |
