Corrosion of Supporting Steel Constructions: a Need in the Architecture and Degree in Edification Study Plans

Abstract

Often the curriculum corresponding to engineering degrees and technical education are outdated with the rapid advancement of technology and society. This is the case of the Degree in Building education, whose curriculum, even being adapted to the European Higher Education Area, does not consider some of the needs of the construction sector in our country. The aim of this work is to plan from the beginning the teaching of Corrosion as a core subject in the Degree of Building, including the contents of a normal teaching guide and specifying possible practices to be carried out in the classroom and that serve to strengthen the theoretical contents taught. To do this, it is proposed a learning methodology based on projects at the university field, eliminating the concept of master class and focusing the teaching in the student, maximizing the activity within the classroom and keeping the attention of the students to be able to reach the planned objectives.
