5.1. Methodological overview

The learning process designed for this course is based on the following methodologies: Theoretical sessions, Problem/project-based learning, and Computer lab sessions.

5.2. Learning tasks

The program that the student is offered to achieve the expected results includes the following activities: 

  • Theoretical sessions (3 ECTS):
    • The teacher explains the theoretical content of each session. One of the objectives of this activity will be the promoting of the participation of the students and the cooperative learning.
    • Problem-solving sessions. The teacher will resolve specific problems. 
  • Practical sessions (3 ECTS):
    • Problem-based learning. Students, working individually or in groups, gain knowledge and skills by working to respond problems and questions.
    • Computer lab sessions. Students use specific structural calculation software.
    • Project-based learning. Students gain knowledge and skills by working with examples of real projects.
