Relationship between specific professional competences and learning activities of the building and construction engineering degree final project
2018
This paper presents a study in the framework of Building and Construction Engineering Degree. The aim of our proposal isto discuss if the academic activities comprising the Final Degree Project (FDP) are corrected, balanced and adapted inorder to maximize the acquisition of the competences identified by the professional sector through two rounds ofquantitative surveys (data also presented in this paper). Due to the economic and construction crises and the decreasingnumber of students in this sector, it is essential to ensure that future professionals are trained in a specific way to meet thecurrent needs of the sector. Based on our assumption, the data obtained in the surveys, and the analytic approach of themain academic indicators, we propose new relations and FDP evaluation methods that would align the student’scurriculum with the current professional needs. The obtained results reveal the need of changes in the current FDPstructure in order to give more importance to certain learning activities identified as essential at the professional level. Withour proposal, we will improve the FDP evaluation, and the student competences acquisition, in order to adapt them to theprofessional needs.
