Main Aim Studying the theoretical basis and approaches for fundamentals
of quality control of structures
Sub-Aims  The ability to understand the fundamentals of different
theories goverening the quality control of structures.
 The ability to choose and apply the suitable methods for
quality control of structures.

Knowledge & The graduate student will be able to:

Understanding  Identify the quality control to different structures.
 Choose the suitable approach for analysing a certain structure.
 Extract conclusions from the field data.

Intellectual The graduate student will be able to:

Skills  Expect the results and their influence on the structure
behaviour.
 Discuss, argue and listen to any criticizm.

Professional The graduate student will be able to:

Skills  Use the developed technology to collect and analyse data.
