| Description | |
| Introductory activities | S'introduirà la assignatura, el seu desenvolupament i la forma de avaluar. |
| Lecture | Consistirà en sessions de 50 minuts de classe en les que el professor exposarà la història, conseqüencies o deduccions de determinats fets relacionats amb la enginyeria. Lluny de ser classes merament expositòries, es pretén generar amb el material un debat obert i animat sobre cada tema. |
| Presentations / oral communications | Els alumnes, en grups de dos o tres persones hauran de presentar la biografia de algun enginyer, el seu treball i les repercusions històriques que ha tingut. |
| Personal attention | Els alumnes, una vegada assignats a un determinat grup de treball, poden preguntar al professor qualsevol cosa sobre el exercici assignat. |
| Personalized attention |
| Description |
| La atenció personalitzada també serà en anglès. Nomes es parlarà en català/castellà per traduir paraules puntuals. L'alumne es podrà dirigir al professor per tal de aclarir qualsevol dubte de la matèria donada a classe o sobre algun dels exercicis assignats. |
