THE COURSE IS AIMED AT INTRODUCING STUDENTS TO SOME BASIC SOFTWARE (EXCEL, POWERPOINT, CORELDRAW AND AUTOCAD) AND PROVIDING THEM WITH CAPABILITIES AND TOOLS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF NUMERICAL PROCESSING AND GRAPHICS APPLICATIONS THAT WILL BE USED IN SEVERAL COURSES OF THE CIVIL ENGINEERING DEGREE. SPECIFICALLY, SUCH SOFTWARE ARE ESSENTIAL FOR PREPARING CIVIL ENGINEERING PROJECTS, WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO THE CREATION OF THEMATIC MAPS, GRAPHS, DIAGRAMS AND TECHNICAL DRAWINGS
teacher profile teaching materials
Students will be introduce also to the fundamentals of another software such as Matlab, and its application to civil enginnering issues and questions.
Programme
