Learning Outcomes

In this curricular unit, it is intended to transmit knowledge regarding the planning of the construction works and the equipment / technologies to be used in the Infrastructures.
Develop a comprehensive program that allows students to apply knowledge in solving problems in new situations through a broad and multidisciplinary context.
To frame the activities related to the roadways project, in its various components, in particular the transport infrastructure: Highway, Railway, Seaports and Aerodromes.
Emphasize the importance of railways as a means of mass transport that is more efficient and environmentally friendly.
Transmit technical and scientific training to enable competent practice in a key sector of society, where important resources are invested in improving accessibility and mobility of people.
A study visit is also included in the program.
