DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING, ARISTOTLE UNIVERSITY OF THESSALONIKI

It was Prime Minister Alexandros Papanastasiou who took the initial steps towards the foundation of the Aristotle Uni-

versity of Thessaloniki in 1924, during a period when North-ern Greece had just been liberated from the Ottoman occupa-tion, and when the revitalization of the “New Lands” - as the recently-liberated areas were then called - was regarded as a national necessity.

The law establishing the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki was voted on the 5th of June by the then constitutional committee, following numerous and prolonged discussions, which continued even after the law was passed. Within this law, greater emphasis was placed on the development of the Exact Sciences, a direction in line with the mentality of the era. During the first year alone, in 1926, the School of Philosophy came into operation, based in the “Allatini” Building, formerly a villa but in which nowadays the offices of the Prefecture of Thessaloniki are housed. In October

1927, the School was moved to a new location on Ethnikis Amynis Street, which is today the most famous historical building on the University campus and which now houses only one part of the School of Philosophy. With the passing of the years, the remain-ing schools came into being in succession. The School of Engi-neering was founded and began its operations in 1955.

In 1982, under Law 1268 for the construction and opera-tion of Institutions of Higher Education, there was a general reconstruction of the structures of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, as with all universities, through the recognition of departments as being a fundamental academic unit, through the reconstruction of the schools and the merging of depart-ments into new schools.

After 1982, other smaller schools or independent depart-ments were established, which today all together constitute the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.

Brief Historical Sketch

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DEPARTMENT

11

Some of the research facilities belonging to the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki are located off-campus due both to the particularly dense construction of the buildings and for functional reasons. Some of these facilities are situated outside the city limits, or even in other towns. These are:

A. Educational Departments:• The Department of Theatre Studies at 122, Egnatia

Street.• The Department of Fine and Applied Arts, whose facilities

are located in Stavroupoli (one part is also housed within the campus).

• The Department of Music Studies in Thermi.• The Department of Sports Studies in Thermi.• The Department of Sports Studies in Agios Ioannis,

Serres.• The Department of Journalism and Mass Media Studies

at 46, Egnatia Street.

B. Educational or Research Units:• The Experimental School, situated in the city centre.• The Experimental Primary Schools of the Department

of Primary Education, which are housed within the former premises of the Department of Pedagogy.

• The Institute of Modern Greek Studies.• The School of Modern Greek.• The Byzantine Research Centre, which is housed in a

renovated neo-classical building.• The Tellogleio Institute, whose premises are on the edge

of the university campus.• The clinics of the Veterinary Department, close to the

old railway station.• The Centre for Animal Welfare in Kolchiko.• The University Farm in Sedes.• The University Forests in Pertouli and in Taxiarchi, the first

of which covers an area of 33.000 hectares in Pindos, Thes-saly, and the other of 55.000 hectares in Vrasna, Halkidiki.

• The Botanical Gardens in Foinikas, Thessaloniki.• The Seismological Centre in the area of Saranta Ekklisies,

which is connected to a network of 14 permanent stations throughout Northern Greece

• The Scientific Centre in Olympus, which is located at the summit of Mount Olympus at an altitude of 2,187 metres above sea level.

Departments and Educational or Research Units off-Campus

The Central Library of A.U.Th

The Central Library of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki was founded in 1927. It is the second largest library in Greece after the National Library as well as being the

largest and most well-organised library in Northern Greece. It is housed in its own sepa-rate building in the heart of the University campus and, along with the libraries belonging to the individual departments and schools, constitutes the library system of the A.U.Th., containing around 800.000 individual book titles and 300.000 volumes. The Library also subscribes to approximately 3.500 scientific journals from around the world.

Both access to the library and the right to search for information there are free to the students and to the general public. Since 1974, the Library has been a mem-ber of the International Organization I.F.L.A. and can loan and borrow books from other libraries worldwide. In addition, it can order Ph.D theses on microfiche as well as being able to provide photocopies of articles published in journals, or any other relevant material.

All the services are provided free-of-charge with the exception of the international borrowing services, for which only the cost of postage is charged.

Student Welfare and Support

Students are provided with a number of administrative, finan-cial and other support facilities by the state in order to enable

them to conduct their studies in the most effective way.Such facilities include mainly the award of scholarships,

the provision of subsistence and accommodation (for students with a low family income), hospital treatment and medical cov-er, counseling, internet access, a public transport pass, and so on. Similarly, the Aristotle University offers all of the above support to its students as well as giving them the opportunity to use the University Sports Centre.

As far as financial support available is concerned, all stu-

dents are provided with free course materials and access to the University libraries, while administrative support is mainly involved with the postponement of military service so that stud-ies may be completed.

Finally, within the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, there is a special office, which provides students with information and advice on graduate and postgraduate studies both in Greece and abroad, as well as on their future career. The particular office responsible for the School of Engineering is housed in the basement of the Student Union Building (Internet address: http//:www.cso.auth.gr).

Teaching material

Τhe teaching work is supplemented by coursebooks and other material, which are provided free-of-charge

to all students. Students may also be provided with information about and access to Greek and foreign bibliographies.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DEPARTMENT

1�

Foreign students who wish to attend a graduate or post-graduate course in Greece should first be issued with a “sketiki theorisi eisodou” (authorization to enter the University). Foreign students who wish to study in the School of Engineering are

required to pay registration and course fees, which amount to 493 Euros for the current academic year (2004-’05). Students are not permitted to take part in examinations until this sum of money has been deposited.

Course Fees for Foreign Students

All students of higher education, both at graduate and post-graduate level, are provided with health care free-of-charge (medical costs and hospital treatment). The expenses for this health care are covered by the University’s budget or by that of the Students’ Association.

Graduate students no longer qualify for health care once

the duration of their studies exceeds two years beyond the anticipated length of their course. Similarly, postgraduate students lose the right to health care when the duration of their studies exceeds the minimum anticipated length of their course by half again.

Health Care

Centre for Counselling and Psychological Support (C.C.P.S.)

and sexual relationships, psychosomatic problems and difficulties in adapting to University life or the surrounding environment. The C.C.P.S. is housed within the premises of the Health Care Centre in the Students’ Union Building.

The Centre for Counselling and Psychological Support offers free counselling and psychological support,

either on an individual basis or in groups, on subjects related to students’ emotional, social and academic life as well as those concerning social, family, personal

The Foundation for National Scholarships (I.K.Y.) awards scholarships and awards to students who perform exceptionally well in either the entrance examinations for institutions of higher education or in the examinations in their departments.

Scholarships for graduate and postgraduate studies, awards and financial support are also awarded by various in-heritances and donations which have been given to the Uni-versity. The conditions for the award of such scholarships are usually the place of birth of the canditate, low family income, progress and exceptional academic performance in studies, and so on.

The Research Committee of the Aristotle University of

Thessaloniki offers approximately fifty scholarships to stu-dents each year. These scholarships derive from the income that the institution gains from the deduction of 10% from fund-ed research projects.

Finally, a considerable number of scholarships are offered each year by different organizations, bodies and foreign gov-ernments.

Information regarding these scholarships is provided to the public by the Secretariat of the Department of Civil Engi-neering or by the Donations Office of the Aristotle University (Grafio Klirodotimaton), which is housed in the Administration Building (tel. 2310-995113)

The University's Legal and Institutional Operational Framework

Universities are classified as fully self-governing public le-gal entities. Being under supervision by the Ministry of

National Education and Religion, they are entitled to govern-ment financial support in accordance with the laws concern-ing such organizations. As set out in the Hellenic Constitution, higher education is to be provided exclusively by the state and the establishment of private universities is not permitted.• Each A.E.I. (Institution of Higher Education) consists of

schools which cover a total number of related sciences so as to ensure their mutual interaction and coordination which is essential for research and development.

• Similarly, these schools are divided into departments. The department is the fundamental academic unit and covers certain sientific field. The department’s studies programme leads to a common degree.

• Departments are also divided into divisions. Each division coordinates the teaching process of one particular part of the scientific field of the related department.

• Finally, the laboratories, the study areas-libraries and the clinics are smaller units belonging to a division, de-partment or school, and again cover part of the field of that science.

The administration of the Universitie is carried out by enti-ties elected on the basis of democratic principles and collec-tive procedures. These entities (Rectorship, Senate, General Assemblies, etc.) address all forms of teaching, research and

administrative activity.

Bodies in Higher EducationThese include: the Senate, the Rector’s Council and the

Rector.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DEPARTMENT

1�

The last major school that was established within the Ar-istotle University of Thessaloniki was the School of Engi-neering, founded under a decree in 1955, which assigned

the operation of 4 departments: the Department of Civil Engi-neering, the Department of Architecture, the Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering and the Department of Chemical Engineering. Later, the Department of Rural and Surveying Engineering and the General Science De-partment were added, while the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Department of Electrical Engineering became two separate departments. Consequently, the School today consists of 7 departments.

The School began operation during the academic year 1955-’56 with only 29 students and 4 teaching staff. The first department was that of Civil Engineering, followed a year later by the Department of Architecture. Prior to the completion of

the School’s buildings, these two departments were housed in the basements of the Department of Chemisty and the School of Philosophy, where the first professors and students of the School of Engineering were greatly influenced by the spirit and liberal ideas promoted there.

THE EARLY YEARSThe foundation stone of the School of Engineering was

laid in 1958. The initial section of the building complex, with a total area of approximately 16.000 m2, consisted of an eight-storey central block, the two three-storey wings of the Depart-ment of Civil Engineering and the Department of Architecture and the building housing the Laboratory of Strength of Materi-als. Over the following years, a large number of new buildings were added to the initial group. So, today, the School covers a total area exceeding 50.000 m2, which includes numerous

teaching rooms, amphitheatres, lecture rooms, laboratories, libraries, study-rooms, design studios, and so on. Today, the School of Engineering is the largest cluster of University build-ings in Thessaloniki.

In 1960-’61, the Department of Civil Engineering and the Department of Architecture were transferred to their permanent newly-built premises in the School of Engineering, where they have remained ever since.

The Department of Rural and Surveying Engineering was founded and began operation in the academic year 1962-63. It remained largely unchanged until 1975, with only two profes-sors and with most of the courses being taught by members of the Department of Civil Engineering.

THE DEVELOPMENTThe Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineer-

ing and the Department of Chemical Engineering came into being in 1972-’73, despite a number of drawbacks faced.

During the academic year 1976-’77, the Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering was divided into two separate departments: the Department of Mechanical En-gineering and the Department of Electrical Engineering, which was later renamed as the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.

Finally, in 1982, with the application of Law 1268 (better known as the framework-law for higher education) the General Department was founded. It comprised the former chairs of the general courses (Mathematics, Physics, Technical Engineer-ing, etc.) and today supports the other 6 departments in the

teaching of these courses. To this effect, the department has its own teaching staff and researchers, yet does not have its own students and does not offer any degrees.

A LIVELY COURSE OF DEVELOPMENTDuring these years, the School of Engineering went

through intermittent periods of intensity and calmness, playing an active role in all the events that preoccupied the academic community and actively taking part in the country’s struggles for a creative revival, progress and prosperity.

The School of Engineering contributed significantly to the cultural life and development of the country by organ-ising or participating in many cultural events, development programmes as well as in the implementation of major works throughout Northern Greece.

During the 7 years of military dictatorship (1967-1974), the School of Engineering, along with the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki as a whole, became a bastion of resistance. Many students were imprisoned without trial, condemned by court-martial and expelled from the University for their anti-dictator-ship actions, while some professors were dismissed or forced to retire. The culmination of the anti-dictatorial struggle began on the morning of 16th November 1973, when 2,500 students from the University occupied the School of Engineering build-ing in support of their colleagues in Athens and stood alongside the entire population of Greece. On the morning of the 17th No-vember, army tanks and police forced the students to abandon the building, subsequently arresting many of them.

THE SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING TODAYToday, the School of Engineering has approximately 7,800

students and 332 teaching staff and researchers, 57 members of the S.T.S., 15 members of the S.L.T.S., while its technical and administrative needs are covered by a further total of 149 members of the S.T.L.S, 41 administrative employees and 14 employees on unlimited-term contracts. Within the School of Engineering, there is one professor for approximately 20-25 students. The Department of Civil Engineering is the largest department as far as both the number of professors and the number of students is concerned.

Today, the School of Engineering demonstrates rich activ-ity not only in education but also in research. It has upgraded study programmes that sufficiently cover the broad spectrum of both classic science and that of newer directions, while its research programmes amount to millions of Euros, covering almost 40% of the total research budget for the Aristotle Uni-versity of Thessaloniki.

50 YEARS OF ACADEMIC LIFEThe Department of Civil Engineering, established in Octo-

ber 1955, is the oldest department within the School of Engi-neering. In its initial stages, it constituted of 14 chairs, not all staffed from the beginning.

In the years followed, new chairs were added, in accord-ance with the planning of the School and the requirements of the study programmes, while the number of teaching staff increased and the department advanced on a self-reliant course, also offering its help to the new departments within the School.

ORGANIZATION AND STRUCTUREAn essential stage in the framework and structure of the

Department came in 1982, following application of Law 1268

concerning universities. According to this law, the Department constitutes a self-

contained academic unit, which awards a specific degree and which together with the other 6 departments constitutes the School of Engineering.

The department is organized into 4 Divisions, to which 17 legislated laboratories now belong: • Division of Structural Engineering • Division of Hydraulics and Environmental Engineering • Division of Geotechnical Engineering • Division of Transport, Infrastructure, Management and Re-

gional Planning Engineering.As shown in the diagram on the next page, two additional

laboratories are currently being established, while the Labora-tory of Building Construction and Building Materials is being

split into two separate laboratories.The four Divisions reflect the main sub-disciplines of civil

engineering. Each Division is responsible for a number of modules within

the graduate and postgraduate courses. They are also focal points for the departmental research groups. Although they function as organisational units, there is considerable inter-action between them particularly for high level postgraduate teaching and research.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DEPARTMENT

2�

The Department today provides academic education to almost 2,400 students, while the staff also supports the teach-ing of various courses in other departments (such as those of Architecture, Rural and Surveying Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, and others outside the School of Engineering) at both graduate and postgraduate level. Similarly, professors from other departments support the teaching of certain courses of the studies programme.

Course duration and objectives. The Department offers a one-cycle, five-year graduate programme which is designed to cover most aspects of civil engineering. The objective of the graduate programme is to equip students with the intellectual, practical and creative skills necessary to apply core technical knowledge across a range of applications and problems, and to help them throughout their professional careers.

Course structure. The first three years of the course in-

volve the study of core subjects such as mathematics, me-chanics, materials, hydraulics, structures, design etc. In the fourth year students continue to study core subjects and in addition choose a series of electives offered by the four divi-sions of the department. In the fifth year all subjects are elec-tive, thus forming the specific scientific-technical profile of each student. The programme concludes with an individual project called Diploma Thesis.

Diploma versus MSc. The 5-year Graduate Studies Pro-gramme is approved by the Technical Chamber of Greece as meeting all requirements for the Diploma holder to become a Chartered Engineer. The Diploma is considered equivalent to a combined Bachelor and general Masters Degree (MSc) in Civil Engineering.

The graduate studies programme is decribed in more de-tail in a following chapter.

POSTGRADUATE SPECIALIZATION COURSES (MSc )With the aim of advancing graduates’ knowledge in par-

ticular fields of the science covered by the Department of Civil Engineering, there are also, since the academic year 1998-1999, two postgraduate specialization studies programmes leading to the award of the MSc degree in:- “Antiseismic Design of Structures” and- “Environmental Protection and Sustainable Develop-

ment”.

The Department of Civil Engineering also participates in the following two inter-departmental programmes, to which graduate civil engineers are also admitted:• the inter-departmental postgraduate specialization stud-

ies programme run by the School of Engineering of A.U.Th. on “Protection, maintainance and restoration of cultural monuments”, in which all the departments of the School of Engineering participate,

• the inter-departmental postgraduate specialization studies programme, in co-operation with both the Department of Rural and Surveying Engineering and the Hellenic Institute of Transport, entitled “Planning, organisation and man-agement of transport systems”.

POSTGRADUATE DOCTORAL STUDIES (PhD)The PhD degree is awarded by the Department after suc-

cessful completion of a programme of supervised research lasting at least three years. The degree is awarded by the De-partment, on behalf of the Aristotle University Thessaloniki, af-ter the successful defence of a Thesis which is examined by a committee of distinguished academic experts in the field.

Structure of doctoral studies: All students register first as ad interim candidates for the PhD degree. During the first 12 months, at least 4 appropriate postgraduate modules must be succesfully completed in order to expand their scientific and research skills. During this time, the general progress of the students is assessed. Particularly stressed is the impor-tance of students developing a general understanding of how research is carried out and also developing advanced skills in communication, presentation, team working, open ended problem solving and so on, which are regarded as important for building a successful career, whether in research or in In-dustry. If the students can demonstrate a clear understand-ing of the research problem and a structured programme of how they intend to tackle it, their status is upgraded to normal PhD-candidate and their work continues.

Postgraduate studies

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DEPARTMENT

2�

Within the Department of Civil Engineering, there are two computer centres for educational purposes, the first for the needs of graduate studies and the other for postgraduate studies.

All students from the Department have access to the computer centres. This area is also used for the delivery of courses and educational seminars.

The Computer Centre

Since the academic year 1989-1990, the Department of Civil Engineering has actively participated to the edu-cational programmes organised by the European Union, contributing to increased student mobility within its mem-ber states.

Within the framework of such programmes (initially “ER-

ASMUS” and “TEMPUS” and more recently “SOCRATES”), graduate students from the Department, after completing their first year of studies, may follow certain courses or work on their Diploma Thesis, for a period of between 3 and 12 months, in one of the European Univesities which collaborates with the Department.

European Educational Programmes

Research work conducted by the Department is quite re-markable both in qualitative and quantitative terms. Numerous research programmes are conducted, many in collaboration with foreign educational institutions, bodies or other sources. These programmes are either entirely funded or partly funded by the Greek government, the European Union, foreign gov-ernments or by international or Greek institutions.

According to the records of the Research Committee of

the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, at the beginning of the year 2000 the Department of Civil Engineering was found to be the most active of all 42 departments within the univer-sity in terms of funded research. Since then, approximately 300 research programmes have been assigned by national and international institutions to research groups working in the Department, with a total budget far exceeding that of any other department.

Research Activity

Since its inception, the Department of Civil Engineering has gone beyond the narrow confines of the general aca-demic community. The University as a whole, recognizing its responsibility to society for addressing social issues, is dedicated to maintaining a dynamic relationship with soci-ety and sharing its hopes and expectations. Consequently, it has always paid great attention to showing its presence,

support and interest in issues that concern and preoccupy the world of technology and in matters of a more general nature and content.

To this end, the University has conducted a number of events with a technical content, inviting many well-known speakers, including Ministry officials, staff of various institutions and committee representatives from the European Union.

The Civil Engineering Students’ Association was founded on December 15, 1975 and be-longs, as all student associations within A.U.Th. do, to the Students’ Association of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. Students within the Department are represented for school matters by student members in all the administrative bodies, who have the right to speak and vote. Any student may become a member of the Association at any time during his/her studies, provided that he/she is registered in the Department of Civil Engineering.

The basic objectives of the Association, as set out in its by-laws, are the defence of the interests of the school students, as well as a continuous effort to improve the level and condi-tions of their studies.

The Association is administered by an 11-member board, elected for one year by the Un-ion members in a secret ballot. The supreme body of the Association is the General Assembly which legislates on every issue and exerts control over the other Association bodies. The Asso-ciation publishes the magazine “Theses and Antitheses” (Opinions and Counter-opinions) and the newspaper “Gefyra” (Bridge).

Students' Association

The Postgraduate Students’ Association of the Department of Civil Engineering was founded in November 2000.

Its objectives are to maintain not only an active and re-sponsible attitude towards all the issues in the field of civil en-gineering, but also those concerning the social progress and the defence of humanistic values, such as peace, freedom, justice and equality.

Furthermore, it attempts to fulfill the needs and satisfy the interests of its members and to elevate their cultural, educa-tional and athletic level. Another objective is to encourage the students to exchange scientific and technical informa-tion with each other, to maintain ongoing contacts, and to collaborate with socially active academic and professional institutions and associations.

Postgraduate Student's Association

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DEPARTMENT

�1

Τhe studies programme constitutes the framework within which the educational process is achieved. It expresses the orientation of the department and is the main tool

used to fulfill its aims. It determines the nature, sequence and coherence of the knowledge to be conveyed to students dur-ing the five years of their studies, in order to facilitate their be-coming new scientists. Finally, it is the core from which the criteria to define the limits of the professional obligations and rights of a civil engineer are derived.

The studies programme itself must reflect the needs of society and, by following developments in science, should provide students with the necessary skills and knowledge re-quired in a comprehensible and well-structured way. For this reason, the studies programme is regularly revised, despite the great efforts required and the problems which may arise in the day-to-day functioning of the department.

Experience in the Department of Civil Engineering within the Aristotle University has shown that a significant revision should be carried out approximately every eight to ten years. This is because, on the one hand, the rate at which knowledge is increasing is rapid and, on the other hand, there is a con-tinuous change in this professional field.

The most recent significant revision of the studies pro-gramme within this Department took place in 1993. It took al-most an entire academic year to complete the whole procedure and a huge number of man-hours were spent on discussion and elaboration within the University bodies.

The result of this whole procedure is the current studies programme. The department has already initiated the proce-dures required to again revise the studies programme on the basis of current scientific developments, also taking into ac-count the experience of previous revisions.

The Graduate Studies Programme

�2

DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING, ARISTOTLE UNIVERSITY OF THESSALONIKI

The Philosophy behind the graduate studies programme

The most recent extensive revision of the studies pro-gramme in 1993 aimed at the achievement of the following aims:• An increase and updating of the syllabus/curriculum in the

existing subjects/taught lessons/modules.• The addition of new subjects• More effective co-ordination and allocation of the material

covered within the subjects so as to avoid leaving gaps in teaching and to avoid overlapping.

• A reasonable distribution/division of the syllabi/curricula over

the semesters in order to enable students to absorb them.

Characteristic features of the existing studies programme are as follows:• It makes a distinction between the studies programme

for core/compulsory courses and for optional courses by reinforcing the effectiveness of each.

• It offers more than the basic knowledge which is essential for a civil engineer during the first seven semesters, that is before the students are required (at the beginning of the eighth semester) to choose their specialization.

• It reinforces the importance of optional courses by encour-aging students to allocate their study time equally between compulsory and optional courses.

• It aims to an equal allocation of taught courses throughout the duration of studies, as far as this is possible.The core courses cover the first seven semesters of

the department of civil engineering and part of the eighth semester. Specialization, which begins during the eighth semester, continues throughout the ninth and tenth se-mesters with courses to be followed and is completed in the tenth semesters with the submission of a Diploma Thesis within the field of specialization each student has chosen. It is however possible for a student to choose and conduct an inter-divisional Diploma Thesis with the cooperation of professors from different divisions within the department.

The total number of courses which each student within the department is obliged to follow is the 48 core courses and 16 optional courses, totalling 64 (48+16). Certain op-tional courses are compulsory within the division which the student has chosen.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DEPARTMENT

��

The structure of the graduate studies programme

The distribution of courses by semester is indicative rather than compulsory for students. It does, however, apply in the case of regular studies and it is based on the minimum number or semesters of studies required for the award of a degree.

CHOICE OF COURSESEach semester students are obliged to choose courses

of their preference by submitting their declaration form to the secretariat.

CHOICE OF DIVISIONEach student, having completed the first seven semesters

of his studies, should declare (at the beginning of the eighth semester) in which division she/he wishes to specialize.

If, at any time, a student should for any reason change

her/his mind, she/he has the right to request the administra-tive council of the department to alter the original declaration and to choose another division of preference. However, in such cases, students are obliged to attend all the optional courses within the new division chosen from the seventh semester on-wards which are imposed by the studies programme.

TEACHING OF COURSESEach semester consists of at least 13 full teaching weeks

and 3-4 examination weeks.Classes take place on weekdays from Monday to Friday,

mainly during morning hours, in accordance with the timetable. Presence is not obligatory. However, students are advised to attend classes on a regular basis in order to have a first-hand understanding and outlook on the course being taught, as at-

Practical training

Practical training is regarded as an educational tool which combines the theoretical knowledge provided with practice and is an opportunity

for students to come into contact with what they will face in their future profession. Students are offered practice for a duration of four weeks in various aspects of the profession of civil engineering.

The practical training programme is incorporated into and funded in full by the “Enterprise and Initial Professional Development Training

Programme”, funded by the EU.The aim of this programme is to ensure that all students within the

Department have the opportunity to conduct career-related practice. However, this practice is not conducted on a compulsory basis and adresses practical matters. For this reason, students should have already completed eight semesters of study. The number of students in the programme each academic year totals 150.

��

DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING, ARISTOTLE UNIVERSITY OF THESSALONIKI

tendance of courses and practical assignments contributes directly to a more effective understanding and application of the underlying theory.

If, for any reason, the number of hours actually taught on a course in a semester is less than 80% of that anticipated by the studies programme for this semester, then this course is regarded as not having been taught.

EXAMINATION PROCEDUREThere are three examination periods:

• January-February• June• September

During the January examination period, students are only entitled to be examined in courses from the Winter Semester, while during the June examination period only in courses from the Spring Semester.

During the September period, however, students may be examined in courses from both semesters.

ASSESSMENTAssessment for each course is determined by the profes-

sor, who is responsible for organising written or oral examina-tions based on his own judgement, and which may also be based on practical laboratory-based assignments.

DIPLOMA THESISThe Diploma Thesis is a scientific project carried out by

students during their final semester, thus completing their stud-ies and leading to the award of the degree. It is aimed, on one hand, at helping student to understand and apply the knowl-edge acquired through their studies and, on the other hand, to deepen students’ knowledge of their specific field. At the same time, the Diploma Thesis is the first extended technical and scientific text that the future civil engineer is required to write based on a scientific methodology.

In order to choose the title of the Diploma Thesis, the stu-dent should discuss with the supervising professor, who gives the student a number of possible titles. If the student express-es interest in one of these titles, then this is formally assigned by the professor.

The students carry out the Diploma Thesis under their own initiative while, at the same time, being supervised by a com-mittee consisting of three professors of the department.The presentation and the assessment of the Diploma Thesis takes

place in public in a special, open event within the specific dates of each examination period.

The Diploma Theses are assessed on the basis of the completeness of their content, to what extent they cover the requirements of the title and the guidelines of the supervising professor, the aesthetic quality of the project and the success of the oral presentation and in the examination. A pass grade is awarded for Diploma Thesis given a grade of 5.5 or above, and the total value is equal to that of twelve subjects.

THE DEGREE GRADE AWARDEDThe degree certifies the successful completion of the

student’s studies and has a grade made up of a three-digit number. The final grade is calculated using the mathemati-cal formula:

Degree grade = (Μ1+Μ2+...+Μν+12xDT) / (n+12)where: n is the total number of courses/subjects taken, M1, M2, …, Mn are the grades given in each subject, DT is the grade awarded for the Diploma Thesis.
