This course investigates key literary works from the 18th century to the present that mark turning points in English-language literature. Beginning with the emergence of the English novel and continuing through Romanticism, Gothic literature, Modernism, Postmodernism, and contemporary identity-driven and decolonial narratives, the course emphasizes how literature both reflects and shapes historical change. 

The course covers a wide variety of tourism typologies and the spaces they shape. Through the analysis of different tourism models—such as golf, nautical, nature, cultural, ski, and urban tourism—it explores how specific tourist practices develop around key resources and how they impact territories socially, economically, and environmentally.

In this course, students learn the planning, design, construction, and operation of highways, traffic networks and their related infrastructure. The course is divided into the following activities: lectures, recitations (design case studies), laboratory and computer practice sessions. Students use CAD/BIM professional software for highway design. Topics include specialized vocabulary and regulatory knowledge relevant to highway engineering; the core concepts, principles, and terminology in highway design and construction; the basic characteristics of road transport supply and demand, and the main actors involved. Students gain the ability and skills to analyze, quantify and correct the traffic states in rural and urban roads, as part of the usual techniques of Traffic Engineering; skills to design urban and rural road segments, specifically including geometric design, pavement design, connections and road junctions design; the fundamental characteristics of air transport and aircrafts for its use in airport infrastructure design; and develop critical analysis capabilities, conceptual scalability, and depth of understanding applicable to this Civil Engineering specialization.

The course combines both theoretical and practical approaches to visual perception and representation. It offers an introduction to the basic principles of visual and artistic language, including its elements, structure (syntax), and meaning (semantics). This course also focuses on how to teach visual arts in primary education. It explores creative and expressive strategies, teaching methodologies, and assessment of children’s artwork in educational settings.

This course explores the strategic role of corporate communication and image in managing an organization’s intangible assets. It discusses how elements like identity, culture, transparency, and reputation influence business success. The course emphasizes a holistic view of communication, both internal and external, and its impact on stakeholder relationships. 

The course offers a study of methods and strategies to recognize, interpret, analyze, and design electronic circuit amplifiers, feedback systems, oscillators, and power supplies. It reviews concepts related to electronic components and circuits, and the analog processing of the electrical signal. Topics include: single-stage amplifier circuits; multi-stage amplifier circuits; power amplifiers; feedback amplifiers; operational amplifiers; oscillator circuits; linear voltage regulators.

This course introduces the statistical, computational, and algorithmic principles that underpin artificial intelligence engineering. Topic include: statistical inference; model evaluation; supervised and unsupervised methods; regularization and model selection; data preprocessing; model complexity analysis; results interpretation.

This course focuses on classical methods of reasoning and knowledge representation and explores how they are used today with examples in the areas of mobile robotics and machine learning.

This course explores the historical relationship between theater and film in contemporary Spain. It examines their evolution within the broader context of performance history as a way of transcending traditional divisions into genres and creative expressions.

The course addresses the critical role of physical activity in preventing lifestyle-related diseases and improving quality of life. Students learn to assess, design, and implement safe and effective physical activity programs tailored to diverse populations. The course covers health assessment, exercise prescription, ergonomics, and fitness testing, promoting lifelong healthy habits and physical well-being.
