| Methodologies |
| Methodologies | Description |
| Guest lecture / keynote speech | The different teachers of the subject will present in a maxistral session the different topics of the subject. Oral presentation complemented with the use of audiovisual media and the introduction of some questions addressed to the students, in order to transmit knowledge and facilitate learning. |
| Supervised projects | On a piece of land and for a specific work, propose and develop the methodological process to design the tunnel - Geotechnical reconnaissance - Study of alternatives - Design and calculation alternative chosen GROUP WORK |
| Case study | Analysis of real cases from the educational perspective of the student, facilitating the understanding of the development of the case and its critical assessment from the technical, economic and social point of view. |
| Field trip | Underground works in progress will be used to check ie the execution methods as well as the organizational operating systems. (Access tunnels to the outer port of Coruña and Ferrol.) |
| Problem solving | The different teachers of the subject will collaboratively carry out practical exercises in applying theoretical knowledge to strengthen their assimilation. |
| Personalized attention |
