Learning aims
Competences
Students have demonstrated knowledge and understanding in an area of study that builds on the foundation of general secondary education, and is usually at a level that, while relying on advanced textbooks, also includes some aspects that involve knowledge from the cutting edge of their field of study. Students are able to convey information, ideas, problems and solutions to both specialist and non-specialist audiences. That students have developed those learning skills necessary to undertake further studies with a high degree of autonomy. To awaken interest in the subject matter in the degree course itself. To value the contents of the subject as a fundamental part of the specific competences of the degree. To understand the relationship between engineering and construction. Know the typologies of different mining-industrial constructions. Handle computer programmes for the calculation of structures. Apply knowledge of structures to dimension a construction for mining uses. Capacity for analysis and synthesis. Oral and written communication in the native language. Computer skills related to the field of study. Ability to manage information. Problem solving. Decision-making. Teamwork. Independent learning. Adaptation to new situations. A16540

  Description
Problem solving, classroom exercises The teacher will guide students in the application of theoretical concepts and results to problem solving, encouraging critical reasoning at all times. Exercises will be proposed and students will solve them, thus acquiring skills in the use of the necessary tools for problem solving.
Practicals using information and communication technologies (ICTs) in computer rooms They will be carried out in the computer classroom and will consist of the design, calculation and optimisation of a structure. Subsequently, the results will be evaluated, and the correct design and optimal dimensioning of the structure will be carried out.
Field work/trips If possible, a technical visit will be made with the aim of studying in depth certain concepts seen in the course, favouring interactivity between the specialist and the students.
Assignments Carrying out periodical works to be presented by the student.
Lecture Theoretical classes where the theoretical bases of the subject will be explained, reasoned and deduced. At the end of each section, simple exercises will be solved to clarify the theory explained.

Tutorials: Problems will be solved jointly (groups) with the support of the teacher.

Assessment
  Description Qualification
Lecture Within the continuous assessment system, the assessment of the resolution of exercises will determine the set of skills acquired for the practical application of theoretical concepts on practical cases. In this section, attendance and active participation during the teaching period is required. 10 %
Practicals using information and communication technologies (ICTs) in computer rooms Written exam on a date agreed with the students.
A report of the practical sessions will be handed in. 		30 %
Mixed tests They will be oriented towards the qualification of the theoretical and theoretical-practical concepts and the skills acquired for their application. This evaluation is articulated through written exams carried out on dates agreed with the students. 60 %
 
Other comments and second call

It will be compulsory to present the Practical Report. In order to pass the course, a minimum grade of 3.5 points out of 10 must be obtained in the final exam. The course is passed if the final grade is equal to or higher than 5 points.

In the second call, the results of the tests obtained throughout the semester are valid, although not compulsory, with the exception of the Internship Report (which is compulsory).
