Applied research to new construction materials subject

Abstract

The degree in Building Engineering at the University of Burgos has been included the Bologna System 10 years ago, implemented simultaneously in the 2010-2011 academic year the entire degree - four courses. According with the initial strategies, the acquisition of competences through project research work in the construction materials subjects has been one of the elements developed and consolidated, especially in the elective subjects of higher courses where training of the student already allows this type of resources. However, the work begins the first year with specific classes to introduce the investigation within the subjects of construction materials, with agenda reflected in the educational guide. One of them, for example, is an intensive course of advanced searches in international scientific databases, which must be used in a practical way to test what has been learned, and which can be extrapolated to the rest of the subjects of the degree.
