Key Learning Objectives for Semester 1 at BME Hungary

The civil engineering courses at BME provide students with a solid understanding of structural engineering, with a particular focus on renewable energy infrastructure such as wind farms, photovoltaic plants, and hydroelectric power stations. The semester builds core competencies in structural design, modelling, and stability, forming the basis for more advanced work throughout the programme.

Students acquire essential numerical analysis skills, including finite element modelling and structural stability analysis. IT skills are integrated into the Numerical Methods course, where students learn to apply programming to real civil engineering problems.

Building physics and technology courses act as a bridge between civil engineering and sustainability. These modules reinforce the interdisciplinary nature of the programme by linking structural design with energy efficiency and sustainable construction practices.

The semester includes a strong project-based learning component. Students work autonomously on civil engineering projects, applying theoretical knowledge to practical scenarios while developing documentation, presentation, and transversal skills.
