Base Knowledge
Occupational safety and environmental management
Teaching Methodologies
The use of expository and interrogative methodologies will make it possible to explain the theoretical concepts and their framework, as well as to gauge the students’ mastery of them. The theoretical-practical explanation will allow for the use of interactive methodologies in addition to the exposition of the contents, favouring the demonstration, exemplification and applicability of these contents and concepts to different real situations and circumstances. Case studies using PBL methodologies will make it possible to develop the skills mentioned above. The existence of practical examples will allow for a better understanding of the content.
