4. Degree competences achieved in this course
| Course competences | |
|---|---|
| Code | Description |
| CB07 | Apply the achieved knowledge and ability to solve problems in new or unfamiliar environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to the area of study |
| G04 | Knowledge of the history of civil engineering and ability to analyse and assess public works in particular and the construction industry in general. |
| G11 | Capacity for the design, execution and inspection of structures (bridges, buildings, etc.), foundation works and underground civil works (tunnels, car parks), and the assessment of their integrity. |
| G27 | Ability to communicate in a second language. |
| TE02 | Knowledge and capacity for structural analysis through the application of methods and programmes for the design and advanced calculation of structures, based on the knowledge and understanding of loads and their application to structural typologies in civil engineering. Ability to perform structural integrity assessments. |
5. Objectives or Learning Outcomes
| Course learning outcomes | |
|---|---|
| Description | |
| Students can define the construction procedures for each of the types of bridges and building structures according to their design and materials. | |
| Students determine the actions to be considered in the design of railroad bridges and highways, as well as in the design of building structures. | |
| Students apply the most suitable calculation and structural analysis methods to obtain the integral response of the structure, as well as the different elements that compose it, for both static and dynamic actions applied. | |
| Additional outcomes | |
| Not established. |

8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
| Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
| Practicum and practical activities reports assessment | 30.00% | 0.00% | Assigment in groups |
| Theoretical exam | 70.00% | 100.00% | The exams will preferably be done in person but if neccesary virtual exams are also possible. |
| Total: | 100.00% | 100.00% |
According to art. 4 of the UCLM Student Evaluation Regulations, it must be provided to students who cannot regularly attend face-to-face training activities the passing of the subject, having the right (art. 12.2) to be globally graded, in 2 annual calls per subject , an ordinary and an extraordinary one (evaluating 100% of the competences).
Evaluation criteria for the final exam:
-
Continuous assessment:1- Assignments in groups (TP)
2- Exams (E). The exams will preferably be done in person but if necessary virtual exams are also possible .
Grade: TPx0,3 + Ex0,7 -
Non-continuous evaluation:Unless stated otherwise, continuous evaluation criteria will be applied to all students.
Anyone choosing non-continuous assessment must notify it to the lecturer within the class period of the subject. The option is only available if the student's participation in evaluation activities (from the continuous assessment) has not reached 50% of the total evaluation for the subject.
For the retake exam, the assessment type used for the final exam will remain valid.
The evaluation will consist of one final exam (100% grade).
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
1- Assignments in groups (TP)
2- Exams (E). The exams will preferably be done in person but if necessary virtual exams are also possible .
Grade: TPx0,3 + Ex0,7.
The passed exam or assignment in the continuous assessment are considered in this evaluation.
The passed assignments will be considered for the following course.
2- Exams (E). The exams will preferably be done in person but if necessary virtual exams are also possible .
Grade: TPx0,3 + Ex0,7.
The passed exam or assignment in the continuous assessment are considered in this evaluation.
The passed assignments will be considered for the following course.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
The same criteria of the non-continuous evaluation is applied.
