| Course description: | |
| International Elective Master of Science Course (IntElMSc) "Nonlinear Analysis of Structures: Reinforced Concrete Frames with Masonry Infill Walls" is a course of Graduate University Study Programme in Civil Engineering. The title of the course in Croatian language is "Nelinearni proračun konstrukcija: armiranobetonski okviri s ispunskim ziđem". The official course language is English. The course is deliverd with 20 lecture hours, 20 project work hours and 20 practice hours. By successful completion of the course the student is awarded with 6 ECTS credits. The course is established within the "Erasmus+", "Cooperation for innovation and the exchange of good practices", "Strategic partnerships in higher education", "Development of innovation" project titled "Forecast Engineering: From Past Design to Future Decisions (Project reference: 2016-1-DE01-KA203-002905). The course is taught at Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek, Faculty of Civil Engineering Osijek. The course is new at all involved partner institutions. The idea of the course is to introduce novelties is study curriculum by considering new structures and methodologies in order to comply with the objective of the project as well with the partner competencies. The course is developed on "FRAmed-MAsonry Composites for Modelling and Standardization" high ranked national running research project funded by Croatian Science Foundation. This is to ensure quality by linking the state of the art research and education. | |

The teaching method for incoming Erasmus mobility students will vary depending on the number of students enrolled in each course. The academic department responsible for the course will communicate the details of the teaching method to the students before the beginning of the academic term. Incoming students are encouraged to review the course description carefully to understand the teaching method and requirements. For the ex-cathedra teaching method, a minimum of 10 students is required to ensure the course is educationally sustainable. In addition, each student must possess at least a B1 level of English proficiency according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). In the event that the minimum number of students is not met, the course will be organised using more individualised teaching methods in consultation with the professor. These methods may include project-based, case-based, individualised learning plans, one-on-one tutoring, flipped classroom, and hybrid approaches. There is no requirement regarding English proficiency for the individualised approach teaching methods. |
