5.1. Methodological overview
The learning process designed for this course is based on the following:
The course consists of a theoretical part where knowledge about properties, shape, processes, types, norms, on-site installation, construction applications and pathologies of the building systems, materials and construction products are introduced. In these theoretical sessions students are encouraged to actively participate in relation to activities previously proposed.
In parallel, practical activities are devoted to two exercises of application of the theoretical knowledge. The exercises are performed in groups of 3-4 students during the semester and are supervised during the course, thus allowing a continuous evaluation. The first exercise is done individually, while the second takes place in groups of 3-4 students. Both run during the semester, being supervised by teachers weekly, thus allowing a continuous evaluation of the student.
Complementarily visits to works and construction companies are made, and talks and lectures by companies and industry professionals are organised.
