2. Pre-Requisites

Command of spreadsheets, Autocad, Word and PowerPoint

- Basic knowledge of calculus, statistics and geometry."

1. With regard to the “Urban Management” section:

- Students should be able to explore Land Planning Law.

- Students should be able to produce graphic representations in computerised form to perform execute any proposal of graphic exercises. To that end, it is advisable that students are familiar with computer-aided design. In pursuance of current legislation, any documents of an urban nature must be presented in SIG format.

2. In relation to the part "Urban Constructions":

  • The same software knowledge.
  • General prior knowledge in the field of construction that will familiarize you with the executions of the urbanization.
  • Knowledge of standards, regulations and sizing procedures dealt with in the courses Building Facilities I and Building Facilities II.
3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession

In order for Construction Engineers to achieve all-round training, they must be familiar with essential concepts of legal urban reality, as building involves a site, a location that is in turn regulated by Land Planning Regulations (Planning Figures, land planing standards, Urban Valuations...). On the other hand, urban constructions are another major field where construction engineers of the future will be able to deploy their abilities; therefore, it is essential that this subject is part of their training.

During their career, Construction Engineers also work in collaboration with other professionals (Town Planners, Architects, Lawyers, Developers…who also play an important role in the field of town planning) and serve several Public Authorities (City Councils, Provincial Councils, Autonomous Communities) and Social and Private Entities, etc.

This course will mainly be linked to Law, Urban Geography and, from an instrumental point of view, to computer-aided design, and obviously to any courses related to construction, health and safety, for the following reasons: it is linked to the former as it is another essential portion of construction, and it is linked to the latter as students should know what actions should be performed.

On the other hand, the urban constructions are another one of the great fields in which the future building engineers will be able to unfold their competitions, which makes indispensable the presence of this body of knowledge in their formation.
