• Master's program in Civil Engineering
• Compulsory elective module
• Offered in winter semester
• 4 SWS
• 6 credit points

Students have basic knowledge of important physical principles in the field of engineering, in particular with regard to measurement technology for monitoring building structures. Students have the ability to select and apply suitable measurement methods for specific measurement tasks based on material science properties. Furthermore, they are familiar with the basic properties of metallic materials and are able to interpret and analyze them by applying physical laws.

The course content is illustrated using practical examples from engineering.
