A Design Build Activity for a “Design Build” Course
7th International CONCEIVE DESIGN IMPLEMENT OPERATE Conference
2011
2011
This paper deals with the CDIO course “Design Build”, which is taught in
the first semester at the Technical University of Denmark’s Department of
Civil Engineering. The “Design Build” course revolves around the activity
that the students should build a model house of their own during the course.
The students have to conceive what are the requirements or a house, they should
design a solution for it, and they should construct the house. Finally they
should operate the house by testing it outdoors. The paper will describe
experiences from the course and how it has been appraised by the students.
