All of them are assumed to be 4th grade students. They are considered to be priorities:
- Knowledge of technical drawing and descriptive geometry (AUTOCAD)
- Knowledge of the basics of road layout
- Knowledge of the general concepts of the structure and planning of the territory
The knowledge mentioned above means being aware of the PBL's own work methodology (Project Based Learning).
The course responds to the requirements established in the formulation of the teaching areas that the student needs to cover in order to obtain the degree of Civil Engineer.
It completes the students' knowledge of transport networks acquired in the third year in relation to linear works incorporating the operation of transport nodes. Its vision is integrative in that it deals with each of the nodes from a common point of view, which makes it possible to optimise teaching effort.
