| Guest lecture / keynote speech |
An exhibition methodology complemented by audiovisual means is applied in order to significantly illustrate the contents treated and to facilitate their understanding.
However, and independently of the above, during these sessions the aim is to achieve a certain quota of participation by the students, enhancing their involvement, promoting feedback on the process (and therefore the two-way nature of communication), and energizing the learning mechanisms through interaction techniques. |
| Workshop |
The exercise is proposed through guided practices developed with computer means.
It contemplates the acquisition of an operational methodology based on practical assumptions with an increasing level of complexity.

| Supervised projects |
The teaching methodology is basically oriented according to the criterion of learning in action, in order to enhance the acquisition of specific skills. In this context, the elaboration of a comprehensive work takes center stage, where the professional skills of the subject come together, therefore linked to the use of numerical analysis applications, with others of a transversal nature, such as, among others, the search for documentation (often making use of new technologies), the organization and planning of activities, the management of information, or oral and written expression. Schematically, the following steps are distinguished: topic selection, preparation of a generic work script, on-site examination, photographic report, planimetric survey, location and consultation of reference sources, construction and adjustment of models, interpretation of results, and writing a final report that covers the entire work. Given the supervised nature of the same, regular follow-up sessions must be held with the teaching staff, in order to optimize or, where appropriate, redirect the activities in progress. |
