Choose D Code Competences
  D1 To be able to deal with the continuous recycling of knowledge and the exercise of the professional functions of consultancy, analysis, design, calculation, project, planning, direction, management, construction, maintenance, conservation and operation in their fields of activity.
  D2 To carry out, present and defend, once all the credits of the syllabus have been obtained, a work carried out individually before a university examining board, consisting of a comprehensive mining engineering project of a professional nature in which the competences acquired in the course are synthesised and integrated.
  D3 To evaluate and select the appropriate scientific theory and the precise methodology of their fields of study to formulate judgements on the basis of incomplete or limited information, including, when necessary and relevant, a reflection on the social or ethical responsibility linked to the solution proposed in each case.
  D4 To predict and control the evolution of complex situations through the development of new and innovative work methodologies adapted to the specific scientific/research, technological or professional field, generally multidisciplinary, in which their activity is carried out.
  D5 To convey in a clear and unambiguous way to a specialised or non-specialised audience, results from scientific and technological research or from the field of the most advanced innovation, as well as the most relevant foundations on which they are based.
  D6 To develop sufficient autonomy to participate in research projects and scientific or technological collaborations within their subject area, in interdisciplinary contexts and, where appropriate, with a high knowledge transfer component.
  D7 To take responsibility for their own professional development and specialisation in one or more fields of study.
  D8 To conceive mining engineering within a framework of sustainable development.
  D9 To become aware of the need for continuous quality training and improvement, developing values inherent to the dynamics of scientific thought, showing a flexible, open and ethical attitude towards different opinions or situations, particularly in terms of non-discrimination based on sex, race or religion, respect for fundamental rights, accessibility, etc.
  D10 To understand the importance of safety-related aspects and to know how to transmit this sensitivity to the people around them.
  D11 To encourage cooperative work, communication skills, organisation, planning and acceptance of responsibilities in a multilingual and multidisciplinary work environment, which favours education for equality, peace and respect for fundamental rights.
  D12 To apply the legislation in force in the sector, identify the key elements of the social and business environment of the sector and relate to the competent administration, integrating this knowledge in the preparation of engineering projects and in the development of any of the aspects of their professional work.
  D13 To acquire advanced knowledge and demonstrate, in a scientific and technological or highly specialised research context, a detailed and well-founded understanding of the theoretical and practical aspects and methodology of work in one or more fields of study.
  D14 To know how to apply and integrate their knowledge, understanding of theoretical and practical aspects, scientific background and problem-solving skills in new and imprecisely defined environments, including multidisciplinary contexts in both research and highly specialised professional contexts.
