Promoting the continuous improvement of working and study conditions of the entire university community is one the basic principles and goals of the Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena. Such commitment to prevention and the responsibilities arising from it concern all realms of the university: governing bodies, management team, teaching and research staff, administrative and service staff and students. The UPCT Service of Occupational Hazards (Servicio de Prevención de Riesgos Laborales de la UPCT) has published a "Risk Prevention Manual for new students" (Manual de acogida al estudiante en materia de prevención de riesgos), which may be downloaded from the e-learning platform ("Aula Virtual"), with instructions and recommendations on how to act properly, from the point of view of prevention (safety, ergonomics, etc.), when developing any type of activity at the University. You will also find recommendations on how to proceed in an emergency or if an incident occurs. Particularly when carrying out training practices in laboratories, workshops or field work, you must follow all your teacher's instructions, because he/she is the person responsible for your safety and health during practice performance. Feel free to ask any questions you may have and do not put your safety or that of your classmates at risk.
Theory classes, problems and/or resolution of practical cases in the classroom.
Theory sessions. Resolution of doubts raised by students.
Problems and case studies partially defined or with multiple valid solutions, focused on multidisciplinary nature and/or considering new technologies will be solved and analysed.
The approach and resolution methods will be emphasized. Students will have time to try to solve them, with the
possibility of active participation through volunteer students. Similar problems and/or case studies will be proposed as tasks to improve their skills.
