Objectives
By the end of this content area, students will be able to: 1. a systematic understanding of the key aspects and concepts for the calculus and design of structures and industrial constructions 2. the ability to apply their knowledge and understanding to identify, formulate and solve problems of the calculus and design of structures and industrial constructions using established methods; 3. the ability to select and apply relevant analytic and modelling methods in the calculus and design of structures and industrial constructions. 4. an understanding of methodologies in design of structures and industrial constructions, and an ability to use them. 5. the ability to conduct searches of literature, and to use data bases and other sources of information; 6. the ability to combine theory and practice to solve problems of calculus and design of structures and industrial constructions; 7. an understanding of applicable techniques and methods in calculus and design of structures and industrial constructions, and of their limitations; 8. an awareness of the non-technical implications of engineering practice. 9. demonstrate awareness of the health, safety and legal issues and responsibilities of engineering practice, the impact of engineering solutions in a societal and environmental context, and commit to professional ethics, responsibilities and norms of engineering practice;

CB1 Students have demonstrated possession and understanding of knowledge in an area of study that builds on the foundation of general secondary education, and is usually at a level that, while relying on advanced textbooks, also includes some aspects that involve knowledge from the cutting edge of their field of study. CB2 Students are able to apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional manner and possess the competences usually demonstrated through the development and defence of arguments and problem solving within their field of study. CG1 Ability to resolve problems with initiative, creativity decision-making and critical reasoning skills, and to communicate and transmit knowledge, skills and abilities in the Industrial Engineering area. CG3 Capacity to design a system, component or process in the area of mechanical engineering in compliance with required specifications. CG4 Knowledge and capacity to apply current legislation as well as mandatory specifications, requirements and norms in the area of mechanical engineering. CG9 Knowledge and capacity to apply computational and experimental tools for analysis and quantification of mechanical engineering problems. CE5 Knowledge and capacity to construct and design industrial structures and buildings.
Description of contents: programme
1. Introduction to design of steel structures - Current structural design code. CTE - Actions on structures. - Beams. - Columns. - Introduction to Building Information Modelling (BIM) 2. Structural elements análisis - Curves - Temperature 3. Matrix analysis of structures
Learning activities and methodology
In each week one lecture session (master class) and one practical session (in reduced groups) will be taught. The first is geared to the acquisition of theoretical knowledge, and the second to the acquisition of practical skills related to theoretical concepts. In addition to this sessions two laboratory practical sessions in reduced groups (maximum 20 students) will be impart. In addition, students will have an SPOC-type online course with videos and exercises to follow the entire syllabus of the subject. Students will have the possibility of individual tutorials. Additionally, there will be the possibility of one group tutoring session at 15th week of the course.
