2. Pre-Requisites

In order for students to achieve the learning objectives described, it is highly recommended that they have passed the subjects of the previous courses that allow them to have an overall idea of the course, especially those in the field of technology and management related to the calculation, design, development and evaluation of an engineering project. It is also advisable to have knowledge of English, office automation and computer-aided design software, at least at a basic level.

3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession

This is a discipline and a subject that is different from those taught throughout the degree course; it can be said to be atypical within the group of subjects, but nevertheless very typical within the engineering profession. It is a very formative subject, in which the student has to work in a team, has to dedicate himself to it, and in which he can get a glimpse of what his profession will be like. It is not just a question of the student learning specific jobs that could be carried out during the course; it is a question of learning methods, a way of working, a way of doing things that will allow them to carry out other different specific jobs. It is even intended that they acquire certain qualities, a way of behaving and, why not say it, a temperament that is ideal for working in the world of project engineering.
