Program Information
This particular study abroad program is intended
to provide TAMU students and faculty with an in-depth
experience with the Spanish language, culture, history,
government, and economy; consist of two upper-level
courses instructed using an integrated teaching
methodology; have field trips to construction sites
that would involve direct interaction with design
and construction professionals. Students have an
option to stay in host homes or an apartment/hotel.
Students will have direct interaction with Spanish
students not only in a social setting, but in the
classrooms as well. Students will spend the first
week in Toledo and the following five weeks in Ciudad
Real. Possible internships exist both in Spain and
back in Texas after the completion of the program.
Track A: Courses will focus on
project based learning experiences with direct application
to the building and bridge infrastructure systems
throughout Spain. Guest lectures will cover topics
on European design codes. Field trips will involve
direct interaction with key design and construction
professionals.
Track B: Students will learn
the basic principles of hydraulics and hydrology
in the water resources engineering class and the
fundamentals of geographic information systems (GIS)
in the geomatics class. Additionally, a project
on the use of GIS for the study of the effect of
land use change on the hydrologic conditions of
a developed area will be conducted. Visits to sites
where the concepts learned in class can be shown
will be included. Similarities and differences between
the American and European case will be discussed.
Track C: Students will learn
stress analysis, mechanical design, and materials
properties and selection. Guest lectures and field
trips will reinforce the principles learned in the
classroom and provide insights into mechanical design,
manufacturing, and materials selection practices
in Spain and Europe and how these compare to those
in the United States.
