| Lecturing |
The methodology of these classes will approximate to a masterful participatory session. The fundamentals of each topic will be explained and explanatory examples will be presented. Also, the student will be guided to study the contents of the subject in an autonomous way.
As an expository method, the digital screen available in the classroom will preferably be used. As far as possible, copies of the presentation slides will be provided to the students prior to the class, focusing the efforts of the lecturer and students on the exposition and understanding of the knowledge.
Additionally, collaborative learning will be encouraged in the classroom through group activities. The aim is to motivate the student in the research activity, and encourage personal skills while sharing problems and solutions. With a dedication that will vary throughout the course and depending on the specific needs of the subject, part of the classroom classes will be dedicated to solving problems by teams (problem-based learning). |
| Laboratory practical |
The practical teaching will aim to apply, expand and consolidate the concepts studied in the theoretical classes. With the idea of promoting both the creativity and technical skills of the student, a series of sessions are presented, which include, on the one hand, the performance of laboratory practices, and on the other, the study of cases and the resolution of problems and/or exercises. These sessions will deal with the experimental analysis of deformations in structures, the resolution of exercises of structural analysis by classical methods and with computer software, the handling of specifications, regulations and obligatory standards in the design of industrial buildings.
These classes will begin with a presentation of the practice by the lecturer, and if necessary, with an explanation of new theoretical concepts that are necessary for its realisation. Subsequently, the students will carry out the practice in question working in small groups, and under the supervision of the lecturer. At the end of each practice, each group of students must submit a summary report with the results obtained. |
| Problem solving |
Intensive course (15 hours) for those students who have failed the subject at first call, prior to the exam in second call. Group tutoring with the lecturer. Doing examans. Assessment tasks and reinforcement hours.
