Requirements in the construction market are growing all the time. This is why specialists in architecture, civil engineering and building management are demanding a much broader-based education for engineering students.
POLE (Project Oriented Learning Environments) enables students to apply and train their theoretical knowledge by applying it to real-world problems. The idea is that by working in interdisciplinary teams, they will come to understand the interplay of the different disciplines involved in the construction process as well as their social, economic and political implications.
POLE combines academic training with professional practice by appointing construction specialists as mentors.
