Coordinación interdisciplinar de prácticas aplicadas a la ingeniería

Laburpena

A Project is clearly a multidisciplinary matter. During its life cycle several skills, knowledge and attitudes from different fields are used. Persons teaching how to do a Project try to transmit those ideas during the practical hours through proposing the development of a project. Unfortunately proposed projects are necessarily limited due to the small number of hours planned in the careers. But the students do simultaneously many other subjects which practices develop interesting knowledge for a project. The coordination of the Works assigned during the career in different subjects could be used to produce pieces of a global work called project. This work describes the development of a teaching innovation Project designed to increase the competences and skills referred to projects through the coordination of several subjects of the last course of Mining Engineering. Every subject involved develop a specific knowledge to be incorporated in the Project: construction technique, technical drawing, quality management, document creation and project management and control are some of them. Work makes possible to improve the subject teaching, being the practices in real cases and spreading a wider vision of an engineering Project. With a landscape similar to the real professional Works. That similarity will provide an extra motivation to the students to be envolved in the Project, improving the results. The biffer extension will make possible to explore more skills as capability of problem analysis, alternative selection and decision making.
