Syllabus Information

5.1. Methodological overview

The learning process that has been designed for this subject is based on the following:

• Lectures: from the first day of the course, the student will begin to solve practical cases on facilities. In each case, the teacher will provide the plans of a building and through the application of rules and regulations, the students will design and calculate the installation suggested. The teacher will be a support to guide them in the application of the regulations and explain, at certain times, the part of the installation that is necessary. The teacher will have slides with graphic examples that will make it easier for students to understand the facilities being designed.
• Practical lessons in the computer room: They will be used to carry out a complete practical case of a building. There will be 7 sessions of 2 hours of practice Revit-MEP plus four sessions for the production of the report, calculations and plans of the facilities in the suggested building.
• Individual tutorials: Carried out through personalized attention, individually, of the teacher in the department. These tutorials can be held in the classroom or virtually.

5.2. Learning tasks

The program offered to the student to help achieve the expected results includes the following activities outlined above:

• Lectures
• Practical lessons in the computer room
• Individual tutorials

 The global distribution of the subject will be as follows:

• 34 classroom hours to solve practical cases.
• 22 hours of practice tasks and supervised work, in 2-hour sessions.
• 4 hours of written tests (two hours per test)
• 40 hours of group work, over the 15 weeks of the semester.
• 50 hours of personal study, over the 15 weeks of the semester.
