Learning activities and methodology

- Magisterial classes, tutorship and personal work oriented to the acquisition of theoretical knowledge. - Problems solution classes, tutorship and personal work oriented to the acquisition of practical skills. - Practical work and computer practice . Design and calculation of a typical industrial structure, using the standard regulations. Additionally, collective tutorship can be included in the programme

Assessment System

% end-of-term-examination 60
% of continuous assessment (assigments, laboratory, practicals...) 40

Calendar of Continuous assessment

Continuum assessment system based on short tests and reports.
The assessment system of subjects is:
Continuum evaluation: 40%
Final Exam 60%

In order to pass the course, the attendance and performance of the practical work foreseen in the weekly planning are compulsory. The weighting of the practical work mark in the continuous assessment corresponds to what it is established in the course, in accordance with the regulations of the university. 

A minimum grade of 4.5 in the final exam and continuum evaluation are required.

In the extraordinary call, the assessment system of subjects is

Continuum evaluation: 40%
Final Exam 60%

A minimum grade of 4.5 in the final exam and continuum evaluation are required.

Students who cannot follow the continuous evaluation will have the possibility of making a final exam of 100% of the mark (only the extraordinary call)
