Novapoint Civil Construction

VIA University College
Denmark offers a
unique range of programs
from upper
secondary school studies
to advanced programs,
courses, refresher
courses and
diploma programs.
Our competence
areas are:
• Construction
• Industry and IT
• Marketing, export
and management
• Pedagogics
There is extensive
co-operation with the
business world
The common denominator of our complete range of
courses and programs is that they are focussed on
the relevant professions and are therefore aimed at
the business world. To ensure this approach is
maintained and developed, we co-operate as much
as possible with the business world and other educational
institutions both nationally and internationally.
Co-operation is through development assignments,
formal research co-operation, knowledge centre
activities and the exchange of students and projects
that strengthen the interaction between education
and the business world, for the benefit of
both parties.
EDUCATION
As constructional engineers, you will take part in
and contribute to the development of the physical
environment which surrounds us all. Your knowledge
and insight will be used to build up and create
new frameworks. It is the constructional engineer
12
who has the overview,
no matter whether he
or she is working with
bridges and road construction,
port construction,
industrial
buildings, housing,
clean drinking water or
the cleaning of waste
water.
Between 15 and 20
new engineers who
have specialized in
road and civil engineering
graduate each
year. All these students
have worked with
Novapoint in their
studies.
16 students in the autumn of 2005 have taken the
special course VEJ B2. The course covers roads and
paths in the open landscape and ends with a student
project in which students design a proposal for
a bypass around a small town.
The students, after completing the course, will be
able to apply for jobs in road related companies and
will have great insight into the program's road planning
capabilities.
Students work with conditions and theme selection
for the generation of height module analysis and
triangular and square grid models are calculated
and produced in TMOD.
Proposals for road alignment are specified and the
program calculates a proposal with transition
curves in AutoCad/Novapoint before a proposal for
vertical alignment is prepared.
Work is then continued in VIPS on cross section
design and dimensioning of the ballast layer.
