The Institute of Construction Technologies and Management is involved in the teaching of the interdisciplinary project seminar Introduction to Planning, Design and Construction II (GPEK II). The organization, coordination and representation of this module is the responsibility of the Working Group Planning, Design and Construction (AG PEK).

Learning Outcomes
Students are able to …
- independently work out and apply project-related specialist knowledge,
- investigate appropriate solution options to constructive issues,
- evaluate alternatives independently and decide between alternatives,
- deal with extracurricular, interdisciplinary restrictions,
- present and defend their own results in an appropriate form,
- identify further references between undergraduate and professional studies,
- work independently on constructive tasks in a group,
- together with the knowledge and experience gained in the module Introduction to Planning, Design and Construction I (GPEK I) recognize typical occupational field structures in greater depth,
- together with the knowledge and experience gained in the module Introduction to Planning, Design and Construction I (GPEK I) recognize typical work processes in civil and environmental engineering as well as geodesy in greater depth,
- communicate and cooperate within teams (group work),
- present and defend their own results in an appropriate form,
- develop own initiative.
Study Content
- Sectional processing of a construction project in the Darmstadt area, which is as realistic as possible, as a simulation game. The planning basis for this is the environmental and spatial planning project developed in the module Introduction to Planning, Design and Construction I (GPEK I).
- The expertise required for this is primarily brought into the simulation by mentors from the institutes of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, who are regularly available to the participants in working meetings (FAT).
- Necessary work processes are tested by simulating planning meetings (PGS) in the project groups (PG). In the process, the students each take on a specialist engineer role within a project group.
- Career exploration through interviews with representatives from the institutes of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and additional engineers from the practice.
- Consolidation of knowledge in project management as well as in project organization with exemplary application of learned methods in the group.
