The students had to develop generalized designs of buildings: determine their functional purpose, choose a location, prepare basic architectural solutions, perform enlarged calculations of above-ground reinforced concrete structures and geotechnical calculations of the underground part, and also calculate the potential investment attractiveness of projects. The task of the jury, which included professionals from the construction industry of St. Petersburg, was to evaluate the decisions made in the course projects. Also, experts expressed their recommendations for adjusting the projects. “Considering that this is a trainig task, the guys coped very well,” notes Pavel Aleksandrov. – This form of disciplinary examination is extremely useful for the professional development of future engineers. While working on projects, students got a fairly complete idea of the scope of problems that designers face in real life. Moreover, this is a useful practice of working in a team, which teaches you to assign roles, be responsible for your sections and make decisions on your own.”
