Bauteiljäger könnte ein Beruf der Kreislaufwirtschaft sein

Material wiederverwenden anstatt wegwerfen – so lautet das Prinzip der Kreislaufwirtschaft. Die Baubranche ist besonders materialintensiv. Deshalb kann hier viel Abfall reduziert und Energie eingespart werden.

Interview 4B - "Eine höhere Sanierungsrate wäre wichtig"

Im Interview spricht Susanne Gosztonyi darüber, inwiefern die Kreislaufwirtschaft in der Baubranche an Bedeutung zugelegt hat, welche digitalen Hilfsmittel existieren und wo Verbesserungspotenzial besteht.

Bachelor of sciences

Studienrichtung Konstruktion und Tragwerk

Specialization Construction and Structures (C+S)

Structural engineers are essential in order to ensure that permanent structures can stand the tst of time over decades while withstanding storms and earthquakes along the way. These engineers design and measure structures and assess possible dangers. 

Specialization Traffic and Water (T+W)

The expansion and maintenance of infrastructures such as road, water supply and sewage networks will be the dominant theme in infrastructures engineering of the future. This is a challenge that structural engineers in the Traffic and Water spezialization will have to deal with. 

Specialization Building Envelopes (BE)

Building envelopes protect against the effects of wheathering and should be optimized for energy efficiency. Furthermore, facades also have to meet architectual requirements. The Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts is the only university of applied sciences to train the engineers sought after in this field.

Bachelor + Interdisciplinarity in Construction

The complex problems seen in contemporary construction practice can only be solved through interdiciplinary cooperation. The most suitable studens are given the possibility of preparing optimally for this challenge as part of the "Bachelor + Interdisciplinarity in Construction". 

Master of Science in Engineering

Master`s students at the IBI experience a forward-thinking degree programm aimed at their future career. It focuses on research topics such as the load-bearing and deformation behaviour of structures, non-linear finite element modeling, load-bearing systems for glass and facades, and many more.  

Continuing Education

Civil engineers solve numerous problems on a daily basis in various fields. The continuing education courses of construction and project management of the Institute of Civil Engineering provide the necessary additional knowledge to competently solve the diverse tasks.

Research

gebaeudehuelle

The Competence Center for Building Envelopes and Civil Engineering improves the quality of structures and buildings by conducting research into the responsible use of resources and energy and by designing enhancing buildings in an efficient and sustainable manner. The Competence Center offers consultancy services and expert opinions, assistant with developement processes, simulations and material testing.

Services

The experts of the Competence Center support industry partners with computer-aided calculations, accredited testing, material and component testing, measurements and monitoring, consultancy services and expert opinions.
