16.10.2023 – Preisverleihung IiB-Programmierwettbewerb

Wir beglückwünschen Stella Becker als Preisträgerin des diesjährigen „IiB-Programmierwettbewerb“ für Bauinformatik-Nachwuchstalente zum Thema „Kostenermittlung von Bauteilen“.

Stella Becker hat die Belegausarbeitung aus dem Sommersemester 2023 durch eine graphische Nutzeroberfläche erweitert. Diese ermöglicht es den Nutzern, sowohl einzelne Bauteile als auch gesamte Bauteiltabellen einzuladen. Die Ausarbeitung überzeugt neben der intensiven Auseinandersetzung mit der Erstellung einer graphischen Nutzeroberfläche durch funktionale Erweiterungen der Belegaufgabenstellung. Die Einreichung wurde mit einem Gutschein über 100€ prämiert.

Herzlichen Glückwunsch und viel Erfolg im weiteren Studium.

01 January 2023 - New employee at the chair

Dominik Heigener

We welcome Dominik Heigener as a new scientific staff member.

Mr Heigener has been studying at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar in the Bachelor's program "Civil Engineering" und continued at our university with Master's studies in "Environmental engineering". His Master's  thesis is concerned with "Checking routines for building information in Open-BIM platforms". Meanwhile he had been working at the chair for many years as a student and research assistent. We are pleased to engage him as a regular employee now.

Mr Heigener works in the mFUND-project "LevelOut" and develops modelling requirements, export guidelines as well as routines to check input data and extract required information for floorplans to be supplied with map services and navigation models.

18 November 2022 - Pub Quiz "Queens of Science and Engineering" in the context of the Long Night of Sciences

How has invented Coding? And when? How many women pioneers in science and technology do I actually know? What did they research and invent? These and many more questions have been addressed with the pub quiz on 18 November in the context of the Long Night of Sciences. In the pleasant atmosphere of the cosy pub Reservebank, six teams used quizbooks and moderator's hints to recognize and get to know women scientists and engineers as well as their discoveries and inventions from the fields of technology and engineering. The three teams who placed first took home a comic and/or a card game.

The quiz was initiated and co-organized by the chair of Computing in Civil Engineering. Many thanks to the organization team, the moderation on location and the Equal Opportunity Office of Bauhaus-Universität Weimar for the financial support!

5 October 2022 - Courses in winter term 2022/23

For the upcoming winter term we are offering two courses around geometry and CAD.

The mandatory module "Geometrische Modellierung und technische Darstellung" (in German) will commence on Friday, 14.10.2022, with the first lecture at Marienstr. 13C, lecture hall B. We welcome the first semester in the Bachelor programs Bauingenieurwesen, Umweltingenieurwesen and Management [Bau Immobilien Infrastruktur].

The elective module "Hack your CAD models! Foundations of CAD with FreeCAD and Python" (in English) will commence on Tuesday, 18.10.2022, with the first integrated lecture in "Betonpool", Coudraystr. 13B. This interdisciplinary course, a Bauhaus.Module course, is open to all students who fulfill the requirements. The number of participants is restricted and we require an enrolement request via moodle.

13 July 2022 - CCE programming competition

As every year, the chair of Computing in Civil Engineering is calling young computing in engineering talents to participate in our programming competition. This year we asks for contributions around the topic of "Automated analysis of room data". Students who took the course "Informatik für Ingenieure" and have successfully completed the programming assignment for part 1, are eligible to submit contributions. There is not only fame and glory to gain, but you can also look forward to winning book vouchers or material prizes. The deadline for submission of entries is 31 August 2022. More information (in German) can be found here.

16 June 2022 - LevelOut Kick-off

In the BMDV-funded project "LevelOut", we study the automated retrieval of floorplans for city maps and navigation models. More information can be found in the project profile and our press release (German only).

On 16 June 2022, a public ceremony was held in Dresden's New Town Hall. The kick-off event took place in hybrid form in order to present the project and to make those involved known to the specialist public. Dr. Peter Lames, Dresdener Mayor for Finances, Personnel and Legal Affairs, held an opening speech in which he presented the demonstration object, administration center Ferdinandplatz. Afterwards, the project team then took the opportunity to take a look at the construction site and examine the Lego model of the administration building.
