Material resources: classrooms, equipment, working area, place of study, laboratories and libraries are suitable for the number of students and training activities programmed, counting with the resources already available in the School of Engineering and common services of Burjassot-Paterna Campus. At the time of the master’s verification, the School of Engineering building was under construction, without any recommendations regarding the material resources in the verification and monitoring processes.

Otherwise, there are no architectural barriers that hamper the access to facilities and own resources material of the training programme.

Furthermore, the universal accessibility certificate of Asociación Española de Normalización y Certificación (Spanish Standards and Certification Association) certifies that Universitat de València has set up an Accessibility Management System committed to the continuous improvement.

This action is part of the Sustainable Campus of the Universitat de València through the Universal Accessibility and Integration Programme of the VLC/CAMPUS.  Valencia, International Campus of Excellence

Evaluation procedure report of UV-SGIC Material Resources Management is available for analysing all the aspects included in the accreditation guidelines. The SGIC is analysed annually by the Academic Coodinatin Committee (CCA) in order to consider the adequacy of the resource materials as the degree requires.

The report is available on the degree website, in the section SGIC QUALITY “Material Resources Management Procedure”. Here you can see the provision of available spaces for the degree, remarking that they are located in the School of Engineering  building opened in 2011. Hence they are new facilities in which functionality criteria for teaching technical studies were taken into account during its construction. The new building, with a constructed surface of 33.000 m2 distributed in 5 blocks, houses the teaching spaces for all degrees, masters and doctorates of the School of Engineering, deparments (offices and research laboratories) and a space for the administration centre and common services.

The following is the summary of the facilities that provides the centre for teaching and common services:

• 1 theory/exercise lecture room and teaching laboratories (46 students capacity)
• 1 theory/exercise lecture room and teaching laboratories (16 students capacity).

All the spaces mentioned are equipped with support infrastructure that includes:

• Board/Blackboard (taking up the whole wall)
• Video projector and digital blackboard.
• Computer for the professor.
• Wireless network connection with access for all the students through Eduroam network. It is wired in the professor’s computer.
• Audio system (in 64 students -or more- capacity lecture rooms).

ETSE-UV has, in one of its lecture rooms, a stationary system for recording teaching activities.

It is worth highlighting the ETSE-UV interest in providing lecture halls with the suitable furniture for teaching activities that require the use of computers or other electronic devices in the lecture rooms. Thus, lecture rooms furniture is moveable and it is set up by electrical connection tables and chairs.

Teaching laboratories’ maintenance is performed by technical personnel. There is also available a workshop and an online lending service for students.

Students have access to two open access computer rooms equipped with 18 PCs each. Furthermore, the School of Engineering offers several work and study spaces for the student. In this way, students have at their disposal the “José Espí López” reading room and 8 group study rooms, each one seating 8 people for organising their assignments and team work. Internet access and electrical connection available in places. Internet access via Eduroam WiFi identifies the students’ computers, as well as the university’s, so that all computer services from the university can be accessed. In particular, it is particularly interesting for students the access to the digital library, which have access to digital journals, and among them, the IEEE/IET Electronic Library (IEL) catalogue, and to the collections of electronic books in the areas of sciences and engineering.

Taking into account that bibliographic funds in paper format are located in the Campus library, the School of Engineering is boosting the acquisition of electronic bibliography.

The School of Engineering also has 6 spaces for the student council branch and other association such as IEEE University of Valencia Student Branch. As a service for students, the School of Engineering houses an Office of Professional Placement and Careers Advice Monitoring Centre.
