Class Regulation of Fire Safety in Buildings

The course will equip students with the knowledge necessary to complete a fire safety project for buildings. The relevance stems from the fact that students are expected to develop a fire safety project in a third-year course, with regulatory issues being crucial to its implementation.

The traditional expositive method will be combined with another one that foments the active participation of the students, and that is concretized by the called "synthesis and reflection classes" (SRC) that will take place at the end of each one of the subjects of the curricular unit. The SRC will represent a dynamic and participative activity, in which the preparation and participation of students in these classes will be stimulated, with a view to questioning and discussing the previously treated topics, enhancing the overcoming of their normal limits. To accomplish this methodology, students will have access, in the first class, to all fundamental documentation to support the curricular unit, including presentations. Later, before the SRC, students will be given a new document with a set of questions for reflection and practical application of the subject corresponding to the treated topic, so that they can prepare their participation.
