This
module will introduce the students to the utilisation of basic terms,
methods, and tools used in the development of technology-based innovations in
the construction and built environment. After successful participation in the
module the students are able to:
- Knowledge: recall and explain key terms, methods, and tools
relevant in the context of innovation deployment;
- Comprehension: understand the facets and processes of systematic
innovation generation, and determine the degree of innovation (e.g. by using
Technology Readiness Levels) for specific solutions;
- Application: select and apply appropriate innovation generation
methods and tools within the context of specific use cases (and thus transfer
their knowledge);
- Synthesis: develop own solutions for specific use cases and
problems, and effectively present them to an audience.
