2. Pre-Requisites
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).
3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
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.

8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
| Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
| Assessment of problem solving and/or case studies | 70.00% | 70.00% | Project analysis of 4 cases (one per unit).The teacher will consider the following aspects: - Structure of the presentation and processing of graphic and documental information of case studies (55%) - Use of the concepts learned to interpret the operation of the modal interchanger under analysis (glossaries)(15%). The minimum mark for each unit is 4. |
| Progress Tests | 20.00% | 20.00% | Theoretical content tests (based on the glossaries of terms and concepts of each unit) which will be taken continuously throughout the course (one per unit). The minimum mark for each progress test is 4. |
| Assessment of problem solving and/or case studies | 10.00% | 10.00% | Project for the transformation of the assigned interchange centre. The solution designed and the presentation to the examining board will be taken into account. The minimum mark is 4. |
| 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:To pass the course is compulsory to obtain at least a 5 in the above-mentioned assessments, bearing in mind taking into account that the subject is divided into 4 units (ports, airports, logistics platforms and urban multi-modal transportation hubs) and in each of them a minimum mark of 4 must be obtained. Each unit will be assessed with a progress test and with the resolution of problems or case studies according to the evaluation system.
The units in which the student obtains at least a 4 will be kept until the resit exam.
No marks will be kept for subsequent years. -
Non-continuous evaluation:Since this subject is a workshop, that has to be carried out in teams, the non-continuous evaluation would be quite complex. However, the progress tests in the non-continuous evaluation are going to be the same and with the same weights, but the students has to take them individually and deliver them on the established dates at the beginning of the course.
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 students participation in evaluation activities (from the continuous assessment) has not reached 50% of the total evaluation for the subject.
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
The same as those of the final exam.
The tests that do not reach the minimum mark in the final exam will be retaken in this assessment.
For the retake exam, the assessment type used for the final exam will remain valid.
The tests that do not reach the minimum mark in the final exam will be retaken in this assessment.
For the retake exam, the assessment type used for the final exam will remain valid.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
The same as non-continuous evaluation.
