Introduction of the student to the life cycle of civil engineering projects from the establishment of the need to the end of their use and their obsolescence. Understanding the different phases of a construction project and their management requirements. Presentation of relevant tools, techniques and software. * Study of the importance of the human factors in the life cycle of civil engineering projects. * Complex non-modelable problems that appear in construction projects and how to approach them (technical ethics). * Basic contractual (legal) framework of civil engineering projects. * Life cycle of public construction projects and the relevant software used.

This course introduces students to the systematic study and use of the English language within academic and social contexts. Emphasis is placed on developing linguistic awareness and communicative competence through the exploration of authentic texts and everyday language use. Students gradually expand their vocabulary, consolidate their understanding of core grammatical and syntactic structures, and strengthen their ability to comprehend and produce both spoken and written English. By the end of the course, students are expected to attain a language proficiency level corresponding to A2–B1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). Assessment is based on a written examination at the end of the third semester. No examinations are conducted at the end of the first or second semester.
