Learning unit contents
At the end of the second quadrimester of the second year of bachelor, the student is required to have completed an observation internship including 10 visits to construction site (s). This observation must be the subject of an internship report.
In the context of the new construction and / or the transformation of a building or part of a building (free program, free mode of construction), including necessarily a heated envelope, the student is asked to be interested in following phases:
1. Implantation, layout, installation of site
2. Earthworks (cuttings - embankments)
3. Foundations (soles, slabs, piles, wells, ...)
4. Sub-works (empty-ventilated, cellars, piles, ...)
5. Floors (slabs, beams-clavels, slabs, slabs monoliths, ...)
6. Structures of elevation, structure (bearing walls, beam-posts, sails, ...)
7. Structures for elevation, insulation and siding
8. Roofs (flat or otherwise), framing and insulation
9. Roof covering (tiles, slates, metal, waterproofing, ...)
10. Closures of the building (doors, windows and / or light facades, ...)
Depending on the specificity of the site, this content may or may need to be adapted.
The phases relating to finishing (interior joinery, ceilings, screeds and floor coverings, paints, etc.) and equipment (heating, electricity, sanitary, etc.) must not be included in the report.
In order to realize this internship report, the following activities will be organized:
- A first class meeting to clarify expectations.
- A session to exemplify the form and content of the report and to get the student to take a reflective approach to his activity.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Link to the competency framework
All learning allows the student to develop the skills specified in the faculty's competency framework by guiding him / her particularly in the development of skills:
Implement a spatial response located.
Experiment with feasibilities, implementations, layout and assembly methods, construction processes (architectonic, etc.) as a design parameter.
Interact with all the actors.
Develop a reflective approach to his activity.
Learning outcomes of the teaching unit described from an operational point of view
- A1: To schematize the details observed on site by applying the contents of the courses of technical drawings and sketches.
- A2: To establish verbatim and schematically the relationships / links between the theoretical elements of the construction courses and the reality of implementation.
- B: Write a reflexive text from an emblematic situation of observation.
Objectives pursued
- Complete courses (especially the course of construction) with observations that illustrate what has been seen, or discover what has not (yet) been seen.
- Become aware of the logical sequence of construction steps and the notion of the time required to complete tasks.
- Ask the questions likely to enlighten, specify, reinforce the theoretical notions received: understand the working methods, the implementations, the organization of the building site, the storage, the use of tools and machines, etc ...
- Live and observe the life of the site from the point of view of human relations (entrepreneur, workers, architect, engineer, safety coordinator, owner, ...)
- Report the experience with sketches, photos, relevant comments ...
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
In order to effectively address this learning activity, it is desirable that the student have sufficient knowledge of the concepts seen in the construction and graphic design courses during the first year of the bachelor's degree cycle.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Through this teaching unit, the student will be active through learning events that take the form:
- Activities in audience
- Free visits on site
These activities lead the student to seek information, question the interlocutors in order to acquire certain automatisms, to become acquainted with the realities on the ground and to become aware of his own learning.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Face
Recommended or required readings
Any session :
- In-person
written exam
- Remote
written work
- If evaluation in "hybrid"
preferred remote
Additional information:
Modalities:
Report to be submitted on e-campus.
Form and content of the internship report:
See the full instructional commitment under the course support tab
Evaluation criteria :
A satisfactory report must provide evidence that the student is able to master the observation, analysis and synthesis of the subjects covered during the course of construction, in the pragmatic framework of the implementation of materials.
A report that stands out must, beyond an easy observation, analysis and synthesis, provide a relevant reading of internal and / or external phenomena that modify the practical implementation of building materials, compared to the theoretical notions discussed in class.
Particular mention will be given to reports that explore, through the detailed sketch and the explicit reasoning, the valid procedures for remediation which must make it possible to correct, adapt or solve situations that are technically inadequate and / or improvable, from the point of view Broad, complex and complete architect's job.

Work placement(s)
This teaching unit is organized around the internship of the bachelor's degree in architecture
Organizational remarks
Organization of the collegiate sessions in audience:
Block 1 Q2: First class meeting (1h Th.), Date and place according to class schedule.
Block 2 Q1: session in audience on the form and content of the report cards and in order to bring the student to bring a reflective approach to his activity (2h Th.), Date and place according to class schedule.
Block 2 Q2: Report to be submitted at the end of the thirteenth week, i.e. on Friday may 14, 2021 via e-campus, PDF format (file name: Name_Firstname_TSTG0002-1).
In addition to the information communicated to all students ("First class meeting", presentation of the form and content of the report), at any time of the evolution of the internship or the preparation of the report students can individually ask the questions necessary for further work by sending an email to their academic tutor jcdonneau@uliege.be
Organization of site visits:
Site visits are free and unframed.
The total duration of 55 hours (observations and report) is a minimum required, the student will approach the environment of the site as often as possible, during his studies.
It is essential to divide this total volume into different sequences to approach the various phases and it can be rewarding to be interested in 2 or 3 different sites (if it is not the same host structure, 2 or 3 certificates must be submitted with the report).
It is advisable to take the steps in good time so as to take advantage of the free periods of courses to complete this course. It should ideally start during annual holidays, between the first and second year of study
The insurance does not allow you to do site work; it is important to observe and not to participate in the implementation and / or handling. The administration keeps at your disposal accident declaration forms, also available on:
https://my.archi-student.uliege.be/cms/c_5541048/fr/myarchistudent-stages
Contact with the internship supervisor:
The student is responsible for finding a tutor (construction contractor or architect with professional practice) by his own means.
During your search, you must submit to each "internship supervisor" the letter of introduction from the Faculty.
The tutor who takes care of you graciously, aware of the role of initiator he assumes, to help you. The trainee will adopt a comprehensive and respectful attitude towards his interlocutors (entrepreneur, workers, site manager, owner ...). He will comply with the directives that will be imposed on him in any matter.
The tutor must complete with the student:
- - An internship agreement in external environment and risk analysis (*) duly completed and signed by the training supervisor and trainee to submit to the faculty secretariat for signature by the director no later than 10 days before beginning of the internship. Eventually each party keeps his. A copy will be placed on e-campus under the heading "conventions".
- - At the end of the internship, the internship certificate duly completed and signedin one copy (*), the only document to be attached to the report.
