IAED 1502 - Material and Construction Technoloqies in Interior Space I

The aim of the introductive module is providing students with an early knowledge of materials and construction elements, in order to easily enhance a more detailed study in the next module.Focusing on pre and postindustrial scenario, through an excursus on the historical development of skills and techniques until Industrial revolution, the impact of industrial production on both materials and construction methods will be underlined.

This course directs the first of two modules that introduces structural components and materials. Students are expected to be familiarized with technical and technological sides of a construction phase. The course focuses on the main components of a building, its functions and technological requirements. Weekly class activities are scheduled as a complementary evaluation.

Violations of scholastic honesty include, but are not limited to cheating, plagiarizing, fabricating information or citations, facilitating acts of dishonesty by others, having unauthorized possession of examinations, submitting work of another person or work previously used without informing the instructor, or tampering with the academic work of other students. Any for of scholastic dishonesty is a serious academic violation and will result in a disciplinary action.Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI):Students are permitted to use artificial intelligence (AI) tools (such as ChatGPT, Grammarly, etc.) for grammar correction and academic writing improvement throughout their work. However, AI-generated original content (e.g., analysis, paragraph writing, conceptual description, etc.) must not exceed 20% of the submitted material.In any case where AI tools are used, students are required to include a clear declaration within the assignment/report/submission. This declaration must include the name of the AI tool/model used, the specific purpose, and a brief explanation of how it contributed to the work.Example declaration:"I used ChatGPT-4 for proofreading and restructuring the introductory paragraph."Failure to declare the use of AI tools when applied will be treated as a violation of academic integrity and plagiarism policies and may result in disciplinary action.
