The Master in Robotics and Advanced Construction prepares a new generation of interdisciplinary professionals who are capable of facing our growing need for a more sustainable and optimised construction eco-system, with a focus on the emerging design and market opportunities arising from novel robotic and advanced manufacturing systems.
The Theory & Context course aims to give the MRAC students access to the front runners of this multidisciplinary field, who, through a master class format, share the challenges and learnings of their professional engagements in real case applications. Theory & Context is therefore a platform where the students have direct contact with professionals from diverse areas of expertise, furthering their formation and knowledge towards their own personal development in research, the industry and the professional realm in general.
Learning Objectives
At course completion the student will:
- Engage in a series of master class lectures with technology & construction experts.
- Develop students’ critical thinking capacity by interacting with a diverse range of points of views.
- Learn to extract key concepts from a discussion and elaborate it in writing a manifesto highlighting technology use in today’s built environment.
