Methodology

6. Methodological approach of teaching - learning to achieve the objectives:

Through theoretical classes and permanent correction of the project developed by the students. Students perform the project during corrections and during off-hours hours.

From the knowledge of the techniques:
Each of the installations responds to a logic of behavior based, in general, on physical principles, which must be known for their correct application.

From the knowledge of the project:
The architectural project is developed in a process over time that involves a large number of variables of different types that end in the building constructed. Within this context, the facilities are considered as one more variable, which at the same time provide comfort and services to the building, having to demand its design a correct implementation that allows its proper functioning.
Through classes, workshops developed in the classroom during school hours and subsequent work of the student outside of class time.

TIMING: YEARLY

Subject dedication = 9 credits at 26 hours / credit = 234 hours
Semester dedication = 36 weeks (32 lectures + 4 exams)
Weekly dedication = 234 hours / 36 weeks = 6.5 hours / week
