Base Knowledge
Applied mechanics
Teaching Methodologies
In the theoretical-practical classes, a theoretical backgroud presentation of each subject is made, which is complemented by the study of examples and solving practical application exercises, to consolidate the acquired knowledge. It is sought that the students explore cases of current practical application.
Learning Results
Goals: develop decision-making capacity; communication skills and expression; ability to ensure quality. Generic skills: ability to grasp analysis and synthesis; ability to solve problems; ability to apply knowledge and adapt to new situations; ability to perform work independently and in groups; development of autonomy in learning; ability to predict and make judgments.
