Prerequisites not required, although it is advisable to have successfully completed the subjects of the first semester included in the syllabus, especially those related to physics and mathematics.
The physical foundations of the Building Engineering are divided into two subjects within the block of basic subjects of the degree. In the construction of a building not only the structural and constructive part must be contemplated, but it must be provided with a certain conditioning: thermal, acoustic, electrical and systems of fluids supply and evacuation, so in this subject framed in the Second semester is intended to show the physical laws for the development of training and understanding of the technical facilities that must be faced in the construction of a building.
