Competencies and objectives

 

Course context for academic year 2021-22

This subject belongs to the minor in Civil Construction Technology, taught in the seventh semester (4th year) of the Civil Engineering undergraduate degree.

The course is divided into the following activities: lectures, recitations (design cases), 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 maintenance of highways and its related infrastructure.

RECOMMENDED BACKGROUND

Although no specific academic prerequisite is required to take this course, it is recommended that the student has completed the course 33529 or, alternatively, either of other two minor similar subjects (33530 or 33531).
