1.2. Context and importance of this course in the degree

When carrying out a technical project, the engineer must know how to deal with a series of legislative documents such as regulations, guidelines, recommendations, opinions, standards, etc., where rules, methods, calculations, guidelines, etc. are set up for most of the activities that they perform, which they must know and be able to apply.

Each course that makes up the degree tries to cover a field in the Technological and Scientific training of the student, in this case the correct application of the current regulations and legislation when carrying out an industrial project. The viability of the project will depend on success in that task.

This is a complementary subject to the Project Office course that reinforces and broadens concepts related to the production of technical documentation both in Project management and on the application of Industrial Safety, Industrial Quality and PRL regulations.
