1. General information
The general objective of this subject is that the student acquires the necessary knowledge, skills and abilities in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) that will be very useful for their academic development, optimization of the electronic desktop, self-learning of computer tools and preparation in digital competences for their future work experience, where they will surely use a wide and heterogeneous collection of computer applications.
These approaches and objectives are aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda of United Nations (https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/es/), specifically, the learning activities planned in this subject will contribute to the achievement of target 4.4 of Goal 4 and target 5.b of Goal 5.
2. Learning results
At the end of this subject, the student will have the necessary knowledge to know how to use the most common computer applications and the basics of computer applications related to Civil Engineering.

4. Academic activities
The following activities will be carried out with strong teacher/student interaction:
- Theoretical and practical classes: Activities taught by the professor in the computer room, exposing theoretical contents and solving problems or practical cases for illustrative purposes. Computer tools will be used at for general use.
- Group tutoring: Programmed learning follow-up activities in which the teacher guides students in their autonomous learning tasks and supervises supervised work.
- Individual tutoring: These are carried out through personalized attention, either in person or online, with the objective of to resolve students' doubts.
- Preparation and performance of evaluation tests.
5. Assessment system
Continuous assessment
1. -Test of information management tools (40%). Individual. It will consist in the realization of a work, where will be used the different tools seen in class.
2. -Initial test automation of calculation (10%). Individual. It will consist of the timed completion of a small problemdone on computer, with the level corresponding to the knowledge worked on in class.
3. -Final test Programming (40%). Individual. It will consist of the realization of a small simulation problem, with the level corresponding to the knowledge worked in class.
4. -Active participation (10%). It will consist of participation in forums, surveys and any other activity proposed at throughout the course.
Activities 1 and 3 must be approved separately.
Global assessment.
- Testing of tools and programming (40 %). It will consist of the completion of papers 1 and 3 of the continuous assessment.
- Final on-site test (60 %). It will consist of the timed completion of a computer test, with the level corresponding to the knowledge worked on in the subject.
Both activities must be approved separately.
Students who have failed in continuous assessment, and some of their compulsory activities have been completed and passed, will be able to promote them to the global assessment test.
