1. General information
The subject will provide students with knowledge of the most common construction processes in civil works and the machinery used in them.
The subject identifies and studies the procedures for earth moving, the use of concrete and those of bituminous mixtures. It also defines the use of machinery and auxiliary means common to many engineering processes such as formwork, shoring, shoring, cranes, compressors and various tools.
All this theoretical knowledge is applied in practice by solving problems related to performance, duty cycle and cost calculations yields, work cycles and costs.
These approaches and objectives are aligned with the following Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations Agenda 2030 (https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/es/), in such a way that the acquisition of the learning results of the subject provides training and competence to contribute to some extent to their achievement.
Goal 4: Quality Education.
Goal 9: Industry, innovation and infrastructure.
2. Learning results
1. To know the construction procedures for earth moving.
2. Use of earthmoving machinery and its working cycles.
3. The processes and machinery used in the production of aggregates.
4. The construction processes in which concrete and bituminous mixtures are used.
5. The use of auxiliary machinery and the proper use of shoring, shoring, formwork, falsework and cranes.
6. Describe the types and characteristics of machinery for the different construction procedures.
7. To choose the most appropriate construction procedures for real situations in civil engineering and building works.
8. Calculate yields, productivity and costs of technical and human resources.

4. Academic activities
There will be the following activities:
-Face-to-face activities:
1. Theoretical classes: The theoretical concepts of the subject will be explained and practical examples will be developed.
2. Tutorial practices, problem classes: Students will develop examples and carry out practical problems or casesrelated to the theoretical concepts studied.
- Tutored autonomous activities: These activities will be tutored by the faculty of the subject. The students will have the opportunity to carry out these activities at the center, under the supervision of the teachers.
- Reinforcement activities: Through a virtual teaching portal (Moodle), various activities will be conducted to reinforce the basic contents of the subject ( ). These activities will be personalized and controlled through.
In order to carry out the time distribution, we use as a measure the teaching week, in which the student must dedicate 10 hours to the study of the subject.
5. Assessment system
Two forms of assessment will be followed, a continuous one with two test taken throughout the term and a final global assessment, this last one with two test.
Attendance to face-to-face activities must be at least 80%, students who do not meet this requirement will be excluded from the continuous assessment.
If the two continuous evaluation exams are passed, it is not necessary to take the final comprehensive exam.
In the case of not reaching this condition, the student will have to take the final test, even if he/she has passed by continuous assessment any of the tests (regardless of the grade obtained)
The indicative weights of the continuous assessment are:
