Building Services Engineering, HVAC-Engineering: Degree Programme in Building Services Engineering 2016-2020

Code: TXF24S1

Degree title
Bachelor of Engineering, BEng
Credits
240 ects
Duration
4 years (240 ECTS)
Start semester
Autumn 2024
Teaching language
Finnish

Descriptions

The study modules of Building Services Engineering are the following:
• compulsory studies of degree programme 150 ECTS
• one optional study module of the track 15 ECTS
• one totally elective study module 15 ECTS
• advanced professional skills 15 ECTS
• two internship periods 30 ECTS
• bachelor thesis 15 ECTS
TOTAL 240 ECTS

The studies of the two year of study, and half of the third year studies are compulsory and common to all the students in the degree programme. The learner’s track is selected at the end of the second semester of study. There are two options: HVAC Design and HVAC Contracting.

During the last two years of study the students have to complete four compulsory elective study modules of the major and one optional module. In addition, the student has to complete one totally elective study module. The students have to complete as well two internship periods of 10 weeks and finally carry out a bachelor thesis on a topic related to their major.

The students may relatively freely plan the timing of their studies of the spring periods of the third and fourth year, and period 2 in the fourth year based on the timing of the optional and elective modules, work placement and international exchange. The work placement periods may be carried out during the study periods of the third or fourth year or alternatively during the summer periods between the semesters

Development

Tutkinto-ohjelma pitää kiinteää yhteyttä työelämään mm. asiantuntijaluennoiden, harjoitteluiden, työssäoppimisopintojen, innovaatioprojektien, tkio-hankkeiden ja opinnäytetöiden kautta. Opetussuunnitelman laatimisen yhteydessä on tavattu johtavia LVI-suunnittelu- ja urakointialan toimijoita syksyllä 2022. Opintopolkujen valinnaisten ammattiopintojen tarjouskorit on päivitetty vastaamaan talotekniikka-alan lähitulevaisuuden osaamistarpeita.
