Port and Offshore Engineering (250433) – Course 2024/25 PDF
Syllabus
Learning Objectives
Specialization subject in which knowledge on specific competences is intensified. Knowledge and skills at specialization level that permit the development and application of techniques and methodologies at advanced level. Contents of specialization at master level related to research or innovation in the field of engineering. TEAMWORK - Level 3: Managing and dynamic working groups, resolving their potential conflicts, evaluating the work done with other people and to evaluate the effectiveness of the team and the general presentation of the results
Competencies
Especific
Knowledge of and the ability to understand dynamic phenomena of the coastal ocean and atmosphere and respond to problems encountered in port and coastal areas, including the environmental impact of coastal interventions. The ability to analyse and plan maritime works.
Transversal
ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND INNOVATION: Being aware of and understanding the mechanisms on which scientific research is based, as well as the mechanisms and instruments for transferring results among socio-economic agents involved in research, development and innovation processes.
SUSTAINABILITY AND SOCIAL COMMITMENT: Being aware of and understanding the complexity of the economic and social phenomena typical of a welfare society, and being able to relate social welfare to globalisation and sustainability and to use technique, technology, economics and sustainability in a balanced and compatible manner.
TEAMWORK: Being able to work in an interdisciplinary team, whether as a member or as a leader, with the aim of contributing to projects pragmatically and responsibly and making commitments in view of the resources that are available.

Teaching Methodology
The course consists of 3 hours per week of classroom activity. Part of the time is devoted to theoretical lectures, in which the professor presents the basic concepts and topics of the subject, shows examples and solves exercises. Part of the time is dedicated to solving practical problems with greater interaction with the students. The objective of these practical exercises is to consolidate the general and specific learning objectives. Support material in the form of a detailed teaching plan is provided using the virtual campus ATENEA: content, program of learning and assessment activities conducted and literature.
Grading Rules
The evaluation calendar and grading rules will be approved before the start of the course.
The final grade of the course is obtained, in 40%, from the practical assignments carried out during the course. The other 60% of the grade corresponds to the exam of the course.
Test Rules
Failure to perform a laboratory or continuous assessment activity in the scheduled period will result in a mark of zero in that activity.
Office Hours
Schedule a consultation meeting with the professors
