    Abstract: ResumenAl contrario que en otras titulaciones técnicas, el porcentaje de alumnas en los estudios de arquitectura y edificación es relativamente alto y no muy distinto del de estudiantes varones. Sin embargo, el porcentaje de mujeres que trabajan en edificación es bastante reducido y no parece que vaya a cambiar sustancialmente. Por otra parte, el porcentaje de profesoras en enseñanzas universitarias relacionadas con la edificación suele ser claramente inferior al de alumnas. Las encuestas de satisfacción de los estudiantes constituyen el procedimiento más habitual para evaluar la actividad docente del profesorado universitario. Este es un tema controvertido, puesto que hay países en los que los resultados de las encuestas se emplean para tomar decisiones que afectan a la carrera docente del profesorado. Entre los detractores de estas encuestas están los que declaran que estas contienen sesgos, como el de género, que invalidan sus resultados. El objetivo principal de este trabajo es analizar la situación de las profesoras en la Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura y Edificación (ETSAE) de la Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena y comprobar si sus evaluaciones son comparables a las de los profesores varones. Se desarrolla una metodología para el análisis de los resultados de evaluación docente del curso 2015-2016, orientada a determinar si existe influencia de género en los indicadores de satisfacción de la actividad docente. Se presentan resultados para los títulos de grado y máster impartidos en la ETSAE, y se plantea la generalización del estudio a otros títulos de la UPCT.AbstractThe enrolment of women in building and architecture studies does not reflect accurately their actual contribution to this professional field. In contrast to other engineering degrees [1], the contribution of female students to the overall registration is higher and somewhat similar to the presence of male students. However, the percentage of women that work in the field of building engineering and architecture is quite low [2] and the prospects of a trend change are scant [3]. On the other hand, the percentage of women teaching in architecture and building schools is clearly lower than that of female students. Student surveys are the most common method to assess the quality of teaching in higher education [4] . This is somehow controversial [5], as some countries and/or universities use these results to take actions on the career progress of their faculty. Among the opposing arguments against this methodology, the possible existence of bias -and in particular gender bias- might invalidate the quality assessment results [6] . The main objective of this work is to analyze the status of the female faculty at the School of Architecture (ETSAE) of Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena, and evaluate how the students evaluation of their teaching activities compare to those of the male faculty members. A methodology to analyze the results of the surveys during the academic year 2015-16 is presented, that aims to quantify the influence of gender in the quality performance indicators of the quality assessment. Undergraduate and graduate programs at ETSAE are evaluated, and the extension of this methodology to other degrees at UPCT is discussed.

    Abstract: Energy transition requires actions from different sectors and levels, mainly focused on achieving a low-carbon and high-renewable integration society. Among the different sectors, the transport sector is responsible for more than 20% of global greenhouse gas emissions, mostly emitted in cities. Therefore, initiatives and analysis focused on electric vehicles integration powered by renewables is currently a desirable solution to mitigate climate change and promote energy transition. Under this framework, this paper proposes a multi-indicator analysis for the estimation of CO2 emissions combining renewable integration targets, reduction emission targets and realistic renewable resource potentials. Four scenarios are identified and analyzed: (i) current situation with conventional vehicles, (ii) replacement of such conventional by electric vehicles without renewable integration, (iii) and (iv) integration of renewables to fulfill emission reduction targets for 2030 and 2050 respectively. The analysis is evaluated in the state of Maine (United States). From the results, a minimum renewable penetration of 39% and 82%, respectively, is needed to fulfill the emission reduction targets for 2030 and 2050 by considering 100% conventional vehicle replacement. Different combinations of available renewable resources can reduce emissions by more than 35%.

    Abstract: ResumenLos títulos españoles de Grado y Máster desarrollan 4 tipos de competencias: básicas, específicas, generales y transversales. Las competencias básicas figuran en el RD 861/2010, son comunes para todos los títulos del mismo nivel (Grado/Máster) y son de tipo genérico. Las competencias específicas y las generales, en títulos que habiliten para el ejercicio de profesiones reguladas, vienen marcadas en las correspondientes Órdenes Ministeriales; ese es el caso de la mayoría de los títulos de edificación y de ingeniería. Además, las competencias del RD 1027/2011 del MECES son obligatorias, aunque no se recojan en las memorias de verificación de los títulos; estas competencias son similares a las básicas y también son comunes para todos los títulos del mismo nivel. Finalmente, los títulos que se evalúen según el programa de Sellos Internacionales de Calidad (SIC) de ANECA, para la obtención de sellos como el EUR-ACE®, tendrán que demostrar que integran también las competencias propias del sello solicitado.Las competencias transversales no están definidas en la legislación y, de hecho, es posible verificar un título que no incluya competencias de este tipo. Sin embargo, las competencias básicas y del MECES sí son obligatorias y, al igual que las transversales, son de tipo genérico. Para facilitar el reparto de competencias de estos tipos entre las asignaturas de un título y graduar su adquisición a lo largo de cada plan de estudios, la Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena (UPCT) diseñó un conjunto de 7 competencias transversales, cada una con tres niveles sucesivos para los títulos de Grado y un cuarto para los de Máster. Estas competencias se relacionan directamente con las básicas y las del MECES, además de integrar los resultados del aprendizaje de tipo genérico del sello EUR-ACE®. Para elegirlas se consultaron también documentos de distintas instituciones y los rankings de competencias más demandadas por las empresas.Las 7 competencias transversales se reparten entre las asignaturas del título de forma centralizada, con el fin de que todas estén suficientemente representadas y adecuadamente distribuidas. Cada asignatura solo tiene que hacerse cargo de uno de los niveles de una competencia, que dependerá de las características de la asignatura y del curso en que se sitúe. La UPCT ha desarrollado materiales didácticos para facilitar al profesorado la integración de las competencias en la docencia.En esta comunicación se presenta el modelo de 7 competencias transversales UPCT, con sus definiciones y niveles, y se muestran ejemplos de distribución en distintos planes de estudios. Las competencias y los niveles están expresados en forma de resultados del aprendizaje, siguiendo las recomendaciones de ANECA. Se explican, además, las relaciones de las competencias transversales y básicas, y cómo ambos tipos de competencias van ligados a la hora de distribuirlas entre las asignaturas del plan, de manera que este sea coherente y realizable.AbstractThe competences acquired in the Spanish degrees for Master and Bachelor levels are classified into four types: basic, specific, general and transverse [1]. The basic competences are described in the royal decree RD 861/2010 [2] . These are the same for all the Spanish degrees of the same level. The specific and general competences are defined in the corresponding ministerial orders, to be acquired in degrees that qualify for the practice of regulated professions, as it is the case for most building and engineering degrees. In addition, the competences described in RD 1027/2011 of the MECES [3] are mandatory, although they are not included in the verification reports of the studies; these competences are similar to the basic ones and are also common for all degrees of the same level. Finally, the studies that are evaluated according to the program of International Quality Seals of ANECA, for obtaining the quality signature EUR-ACE®, must prove they also integrate the competences of the requested sealThe transverse competences are not defined in the legislation and, in fact, it is possible to verify a degree without including competences of this type. However, the basic and MECES competences are mandatory and, as the transverse skills, are generic. To facilitate the distribution of basic, MECES and transverse competences among the syllabus of their different degrees, the Technical University of Cartagena (UPCT) designed a set of seven transverse competences, each with three successive levels for Bachelor degrees, and an additional level for Master studies. These competences are directly related to the basic ones and those of the MECES. They also integrate the learning outcomes of the generic type of the EUR-ACE® seal. In order to define these competences, documents from different institutions [5] and the rankings of most demanded competences by companies were analyzed.The seven transverse competences are distributed among each syllabus in a centralized manner, so that all of them are sufficiently represented and evenly distributed. Every course in a syllabus develops a single transverse competence at a given level, in accordance with its best adequacy [6]. UPCT has developed educational materials to facilitate the integration of competences to teachers [7] . The competences and levels are defined in the form of learning outcomes, following recommendations from ANECA [8].This paper presents the model of seven UPCT transverse competences, with their definitions and levels, and shows examples of distribution in different degrees. It also explains the relationships between transverse and basic competences, and how both types of competences are time-wise linked along a syllabus, so that their integration is coherent and feasible.

    Abstract: Una carga de trabajo desigualmente distribuida a lo largo de un semestre es uno de los factores cruciales que afectan el desempeño académico de los estudiantes universitarios. Las cargas de trabajo excesivas o distribuidas de forma desigual pueden dañar significativamente los resultados académicos y, lo que es más importante, determinar el enfoque de aprendizaje adoptado por los estudiantes. La coordinación horizontal tiene como objetivo garantizar una distribución racional de la carga de trabajo a lo largo de un semestre académico. Para ello, la Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena (UPCT) utiliza el 'Cronograma Conjunto', donde se agrupan las actividades planificadas por el profesorado para los diferentes cursos de un determinado grupo y semestre. El objetivo principal de este trabajo es el desarrollo de un modelo que permita evaluar la distribución de la carga de trabajo del estudiante a lo largo de un semestre, utilizando la planificación inicial de actividades recuperada por la facultad. Se han empleado varios enfoques para estimar la carga de trabajo del estudiante. Este trabajo se basa en la encuesta semanal de carga de trabajo realizada para varios cursos en una serie de grados de la UPCT, que ha permitido a los autores cuantificar la carga de trabajo del alumno medio para diferentes tipos de actividades, medir las actividades planificadas y simular el tiempo de carga de trabajo. Distribución de una actividad determinada en función del tiempo disponible para su realización.AbstractAn unevenly distributed workload along a semester is one of the crucial factors that affect the academic performance of university students. Excess or unevenly distributed workloads may significantly harm the academic results and, importantly, determine the learning approach adopted by the students. The horizontal coordination aims at ensuring a rational workload distribution along an academic semester. To achieve this, Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena (UPCT) uses ‘Joint Chronogram’, where the activities planned by the faculty for the different courses in a given group and semester are put together.The main objective of this work is the development of a model that allows for evaluating the student’s workload distribution along a semester, using the initial planning of activities retrieved by the faculty.Several approaches have been employed for estimating the student’s workload. This work is based on the weekly workload survey conducted for several courses in a number of undergraduate degrees at UPCT, which has allowed the authors for quantifying the average student’s workload for different types of activities, for measuring the planned activities and for simulating the workload time distribution of a given activity as a function of the available time for accomplishment.Once the planned activities are introduced into the chronogram for each course, the model computes and represents graphically an average-student’s workload distribution, which depends on the type of activities and their distribution along the semester. This simulation allows for modifying the time-planning of the most critical activities, in agreement with the faculty, in order to ensure a more even workload distribution.
