This fact, in addition to having important repercussions from the point of view of professional opportunities once the degree is finished, facilitates the exchange of students between European countries (Erasmus scholarships among others). In this way, as there is a clear tendency to unify and equalize degrees, problems to validate subjects between universities tend to be fewer. However, there are some subjects, typical of degrees with a significant regulatory dependency (such as Law, Architecture or Engineering), in which it is very difficult to establish interrelationships between what is taught in two different countries. Thus, this work shows the results of a pilot experience developed at the Higher Technical Building School of the Polytechnic University of Madrid (Spain). In it, a differentiated evaluation methodology was proposed for foreign students who were studying some of the subjects of the discipline of “Construction Materials” of the “Degree in Building” of the institution. The explained proposal consisted in the development of a supervised course work in which students had to analyze and compare the regulations and differentiating aspects of both: the destination country (Spain) and their countries of origin, in relation to some of the materials studied during the subject. In this way, it was possible to give a solution to one of the great problems that these students encountered when they returned to their countries: the total ignorance of the regulations of their territories (having studied those of Spain, which, in most of the cases, they will never need in their professional life). The results show a wide degree of satisfaction by the students, as well as for the professors involved in the experience. It has been a very interesting activity that shows us peculiarities and aspects of other countries, and that some of them, perhaps in the future, could be considered to update Spanish standards.

Zamora, España Martín Alfageme, Susana; Campano Calvo, José Luis; Ferrero Pascual, Ana; Alonso Aguilar, Miriam; López Alonso, María Aránzazu; Cañizo Rodríguez, María del; Hernández Téllez, Julio; González Barajas, Lara María; Prieto Sánchez, José Alejandro; Jambrina Morín, Diego Este tramo de la muralla medieval de San Bernabé pertenece al primer recinto amurallado de la ciudad de Zamora, España. El uso de técnicas de refracción sísmica, georradar y tomografía computarizada es generalizado en inspecciones no destructivas previas de otros edificios protegidos. El análisis de las imágenes en las áreas inspeccionadas mediante fotogrametría y escaneo láser 3D facilita el proceso de recopilación de datos y el posterior diagnóstico de la muralla. Los datos obtenidos mediante termografía revelan que el tramo en cuestión presenta cierta humedad en su relleno, que se extiende al exterior, y se observan desmoronamientos en la mampostería. Estas técnicas se han desarrollado en otros campos no relacionados con los bienes que conforman el Patrimonio Histórico. Este trabajo pretende proporcionar un ejemplo de la recopilación de datos a tener en cuenta antes de cualquier diagnóstico de un inmueble y su posterior intervención.; This stretch of the medieval walls of San Bernabe, belongs to the first walled enclosure of the city of Zamora in Spain. The use of seismic refraction techniques, geo-radar and CT scanning is widespread in previous nondestructive inspections of other listed buildings. The analysis of the images in the areas inspected with photogrammetry and 3D laser scanning supports the process of data collection and the wall’s subsequent diagnosis. The data obtained by thermal imaging reveal that the stretch in question has some humidity in its backfill, which extends to the outside, and there is some crumbling of the stonework. These techniques have been developed in other fields unrelated to the assets that make up the Historical Heritage. This work aims to provide an example of the data collection to be taken into account prior to any diagnosis of a property and its subsequent intervention.

L. El artículo trata de exponer las ventajas de algunos métodos geofísicos en los estudios previos realizados para la rehabilitación de edificios, como herramientas complementarias a las utilizadas tradicionalmente en los estudios geotécnicos para la determinación de las características del terreno. Estos estudios, no intrusivos, permiten determinar de forma sencilla posibles alteraciones en el terreno. Por último se resumen los trabajos realizados, con estas técnicas, en el Monasterio de Santa María de Moreruela (Zamora), en concreto en el terreno sobre el que se asienta la Iglesia.; The article attempts to explain the advantages of some geophysical methods in previous studies for the rehabilitation of buildings, as complementary tools for the traditional use in geotechnical studies identificating terrain features. These studies, non-intrusive, determine, easily, possible changes in the terrain. Finally, we summarize the work, with these techniques, in the Monastery of Saint Mary of Moreruela (Zamora), particularly in the terrain the church sits on.

For this study, learning objects were designed as a resource to support teaching and encourage autonomous learning practices in the subject of Graphic Expression belonging to the Architecture Degree. An analysis of their application was performed that involved evaluating the “usability” ratings of students who tested the learning objects. Survey results reveal positive scores were consistently awarded to all three usability components (effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction), indicating receptiveness to said learning objects on the part of students. This positive feedback has proven encouraging with regards to continuing with the design and development of new learning objects, and the study of their application in other areas.
