Digital Teaching
For individual consultation hours, digital meetings can be arranged in addition to face-to-face meetings at the university.

Course Contents
·       Students develop an understanding of the complexity of infrastructure projects, the dependencies of actors and financial resources, and the challenges of planning processes.  
·       The students have the ability to divide projects into their service phases and to make scheduling estimates.
·       The students are able to identify the costs relevant for major construction projects and to work out possibilities of financing.  
·       The students have the ability to recognise project planning problems at an early stage and to develop suitable countermeasures.
 

Literature
Literature will be provided during the course or references will be given for self-research.

Preconditions
The combination with the parallel running module "Infrastructure Planning" is recommended, but not necessary.

Expected Number of Participants
20

Official Course Description
In the seminar "Project Infrastructure", students gain insights into the work processes of project management of large-scale infrastructural construction projects.
Together with a practice partner, selected projects are analysed and prepared in groups with regard to their organisational, planning, scheduling and cost-related framework conditions. Through the practical relevance, the seminar provides students with knowledge about the planning processes, the preparation of schedules and cost plans, the various service phases of construction projects as well as the tendering processes of planning and construction services.

Additional Information
During the cooperation with the practice partner, documents may also be made available for project processing. These must be handled sensitively and must not be passed on to third parties.

Sustainability Reference of the Course Contents
Infrastructures have an impact on the environment: they influence the ecology and change social coexistence and economic activity. The aim of realising new projects is to take into account different interests, to make trade-offs and to implement an infrastructure that offers long-term added value. Therefore, sustainable objectives must always be considered in the context of globalisation, digitalisation, demographic change, climate change and climate adaptation.
