Competencies and objectives

 

Course context for academic year 2024-25

Contemporary society is characterized by increasingly urbanized spaces, forms and new challenges that require, first, a knowledge and understanding of the processes and forces that shape these spaces and, second, to provide students tools to intervention in them.
However, compared to the traditional sectorial or non-holistic approach of engineering, a new concept much more open and linked to other dimensions that constitute this new contemporary spatial reality is proposed.

Specific objectives stated by the academic staff for academic year 2024-25

- Understanding the spatial aspect of projects and civil engineering works in the city and the territory, removing its sectorial autonomy.

- Understanding the city and territory as complex elements, providing theoretical and interpretive content on spatial change processes and agents and underlying causes.

- Deploy skills in relation to the proposed development from the consideration of its constituent elements, to the participation of the same in the configuration of urban space.

- Relate the urban infrastructures and services with planning instruments.

Following the commitment adopted by the UA to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals promulgated by the UN, the subject of Engineering of the Territory, Transport and Environment contributes specifically to the achievement of the following objectives:

SDG 3. Health and Well-being.

SDG 5. Gender equality.

SDG 7. Affordable and clean energy.

SDG 9. Industry, innovation and infrastructure.

SDG 10. Reduction of inequalities.

SDG 11. Sustainable cities and communities.

SDG 12. Responsible production and consumption.

SDG 13. Climate action.

SDG 15. Life on land.
