Competencies and objectives

 

Course context for academic year 2024-25

This subject belongs to the minor in Construction Technology. It is taught in the sixth semester (3rd year) of the Civil Engineering undergraduate degree.

The course is divided into the following activities: lectures, workshops, laboratory and computer practice. These classroom activities are focused on providing the future graduate scientific and technical training in the field of conception, design, construction and operation of highways, traffic networks and its related infrastructure.

Likewise, the training received by the student will prepare for the development and deepening of content on different disciplines belonging to Highway Engineering, which are studied in specific subjects of subsequent courses.

RELATION TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS (SDGs):

DIGITALIZATION:

  • Programming of various practical exercises with calculation tools.
  • Use of professional traffic microsimulation software (AIMSUN Next)
  • Use of BIM professional software for highway design (CLIP, Autoturn, Autodesk)
