Study Notes
Topic 1: General Presentation
- Engineering in Spain: The "Escuela de Matemáticas y Delineación" was created in 1583 to train military engineers, followed by officially recognized engineers in 1711. The Real Instituto Industrial in Madrid (1850) became the origin of industrial engineering studies.
- Concepts: Engineering is a regulated profession with specific tasks, duties, and expectations (competencies). Titles and qualifications are protected by law. Colleges represent, oversee, and defend these professionals. Associations unite professionals within specific fields.
- Types of Work: Professionals can work in the public or private sector. Independent contractors are considered part of the liberal professions, while those working under employment are subject to the constraints and guidelines of that position.
Topic 2: Technical Project
- Project Definition: A project is defined by written documents, calculations, and drawings specifying the scope, cost, and design. It's a temporary effort to create a unique product or service.
- Project Characteristics: Projects are typically complex, multidisciplinary efforts requiring varied expertise, and usually aren't easily reversed.
- Project Life Cycles: Projects have a defined start and end.
- Project Agents: Clients, promoters, engineers, contractors, and project managers are involved in various parts of the effort.
Topic 3: Construction Permits
- Authorizations: Construction requires urban planning and activity licenses. Permits are given by municipalities authorizing the execution of the projected work after confirming its legality. These authorizations are governed by environmental laws and impact assessments.
- Environmental Regulations: Projects require environmental impact assessments for regulations compliant implementation.
Topic 4: Project in Building Construction
- Legal Framework: The Law 38/1999 governs building construction.
Topic 5: Budget Estimation
- Cost Estimation: Project budgets estimate costs at various stages, becoming more accurate as the project progresses.
- Direct & Indirect Costs: Calculations include material costs, labor, and overhead.
- Project Costs: In addition to material costs, projects have overhead costs, indirect costs, and other charges.
Topic 6: Exercising the Profession
- Types of Professions: Professions can be regulated or unregulated, liberal or employ-based, offering varied work arrangements and opportunities.
- Essential Role of Professional Organizations: Professional organizations are responsible for defending and overseeing the standards of regulated professions.
- Professional Licensing Requirements/Regulations: Rigorous legal frameworks apply to regulated professionals, with licensing or certification potentially required based on job duties.
Topic 7: Industrial Property
- Types of Industrial Property: This includes industrial property rights (patents and designs protecting inventions, designs, brands and names).
- Secrecy in Industrial Property: Confidential business information can be protected through trade secret laws.
Topic 8: Production Process
- Plant Operation: The physical structure and layout of the production area (facility).
- Production Processes: Manufacturing and service-providing activities involved in creating goods or services.
- Production Capacity: The volume of output which can be generated as determined by current resources.
- Plant Layout: The arrangement and organization of equipment and personnel.
Topic 9: Project Safety
- Work Accidents: Project safety encompasses all accident prevention measures, recognizing that accidents can occur while undertaking a job.
- CE Marking: Regulatory certification indicating that items meet a safety standard.
- Severity of Injuries: Injuries may range from minor to severe (even fatalities), varying in their potential for recovery and long-term impact.
