Competencies are the set of knowledge, skills and attitudes to be acquired by the student throughout the degree, aimed at preparing for the exercise of professional activities.
The Official Degree of Graduate in Marine Technologies has as its main objective to provide the basic knowledge and techniques that a Merchant Navy Machine Officer must have at his disposal when developing his professional activity. The fourth Transitional Provision of RD 1393/2007 establishes that the current general guidelines of the corresponding degrees will apply to university degrees linked to regulated professional activities, both in the academic field (Diploma in Naval Machinery) and in the professional field (2nd Class Machinery Officer of the Merchant Navy).
Competencies encompass knowledge relating to regulated professional activity that is the result of learning. These competencies are crucial for the identification of qualifications and can be classified as:
– Mathematical problems on linear algebra, geometry, differential and integral calculus, numerical method and algorithm, statistics and optimization.
– The general laws of Physics: mechanics, thermodynamics, fields and waves and electromagnetism
