Objectives

OBJECTIVES
In a terminal stage of training in Environmental Engineering, the objectives of this discipline are:

- In terms of skills to develop the ability to formulate problems, systems understanding, critical thinking, and professional attitudes. To understand the external context and the impact of construction in the profession and understanding of the processes.

- In terms of knowledge and respect to the act of building, both before as during the execution of physical works:

- Acquaintance with the construction activity, understand the various frameworks of buildings and industrial facilities in the practice of Environmental Engineering and the need for management of construction processes;

- To familiarize students with the different phases of the constructive development - promoting research and designs, materials, construction, operation and maintenance;

- Realize that the whole process of the construction is developed under a constructive framework legislative / standards;

- Importance of various construction technologies in the implementation of industrial plants including: structure, foundations, roofs, walls, floors, doors, windows and walls

- Importance of the various facilities and equipment in the industry;

- Importance of risk analysis and surveillance in the construction process;

- Reflect on the quality and sustainability of the whole process and actions for improvement that should be taken.


SKILLS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

Knowledge: Knowledge of various legal and technical aspects in the construction of industrial plants as well as their facilities and equipment. Risk analysis.

Ethics; Using the knowledge gained; knowledge integration; experimentation and simulation; interpretation of results; written communication; problem formulation.

Understanding: It is intended to alert students for a non design point of view of the environment engineer by giving them additional information regarding the practice of civil engineering construction. Its main objective is to introduce the most important issues related to construction activity of Civil Engineers and in particular in industrial installations. Given the multidisciplinary discipline was understood to be necessary to divide it into three modules taught by three teachers making the best use of knowledge in each of three components: design conception, legislative and risk analysis, construction technology and facilities and Equipment.

Skills you hope to achieve in the discipline:
Structure information; Integration of knowledge, self-directed study; Ethics; Thought and action under pressure, written communication, oral communication, group interaction, leadership, problem formulation, time management, project (analysis, specification, design and validation). Exercises.
