This course aims to acquaint students with the most important subjects related with civil engineers that will work with contractors and management and supervision companies. The chapter about health and security in construction sites aims to acquaint students with the criminal issues that may arise. This course will be divided into two: Module A (theoretical classes) and Module B (practical classes). This year a new innovative content is introduced: BIM in Construction - BIM has compulsory individual job

DEMONSTRATION OF THE SYLLABUS COHERENCE WITH THE CURRICULAR UNIT'S OBJECTIVES:
The curricular unit of Construction Management and Safety aims to present and fit construction activity and its processes related to civil engineering non designer issues. It is also intended to present several themes related with civil engineers that will work with contractors and management and supervision companies.
24/26 Lectures of 1 hour each Software training on computer rooms (4/6 hours) Applied work with tutors in 3 themes (18/20 hours) One small report prepared by groups of 3 students outside class environment (8 hours). One individual work about BIM (7 hours)
DEMONSTRATION OF THE COHERENCE BETWEEN THE TEACHING METHODOLOGIES AND THE LEARNING OUTCOMES:
The teaching methodologies develop the ability to plan, prepare and supervise the construction works, taking into account the legislation and the main aspects related to safety and health.
In the B modulus, preparation of reports integrated in groups of 3 students AND individual report about BIM. These classes and work environment aim to develop in students, leadership skills, working in groups, researsh and synthesis of publicly available information. Communication skills.
