1         Introduction.

The Defence University Centre was created by Royal Decree 1723/2008, of 24 October (creating the system of defence university centres), work on the building where it is located was completed in mid-2010 and the bachelor degree in mechanical engineering began to be imparted in the 2010-2011 academic year. The human and material resources were provided as each academic year was implemented.

The Centre’s management has been applying the same policy to the equipment of the teaching laboratories in the five years that the degree programme has been implemented as it has applied to the recruitment of faculty: as the needs of the teaching laboratories increase in each academic year, they have been gradually upgraded.

The facilities already exist (former laboratories of the Spanish Naval Academy), but the furniture is renewed and the laboratory instrumentation and tools required for the subjects of the degree programme are acquired. It has been necessary to carry out some renovation work to adapt existing spaces at the Spanish Naval Academy to the needs of the bachelor degree. The main actions are listed below:

Actions taken before the first academic year:

  • Preparation of the building to be occupied by the CUD.
  • Equipment of the management offices, secretary’s office and part of the faculty offices.
  • Construction of the academic library (ground floor of one of the students’ quarters).
  • Equipment of two computer laboratories as well as the physics and chemistry laboratories.
  • Acquisition of the recommended bibliography for first-year subjects.

Actions during the 2010-2011 academic year:

  • During this academic year, acquisitions began in order to equip the teaching laboratories with the material necessary to teach the second year of the bachelor degree.
  • Acquisition of the recommended bibliography for second-year subjects.

Actions during the 2011-2012 academic year:

  • Construction work carried out to adapt existing spaces for third-year subject laboratories.
  • Acquisition of the recommended bibliography for third-year subjects.
  • Construction work carried out to join two classrooms and obtain an additional large classroom for exams.
  • Refurbishment of a classroom as an audiovisual room in which to record the teaching pills. Provision of appropriate equipment.
  • Expansion of 56 seats in the library (increased from 132 to 188 seats).
  • Adaptation of classrooms for English I classes (sound equipment, etc.).

Actions during the 2012-2013 academic year:

  • Construction work carried out to adapt existing spaces for fourth-year subject laboratories.
  • Acquisition of the recommended bibliography for fourth-year subjects.
  • Adaptation of classrooms for English II classes (sound equipment, etc.).
  • Acquisition of furniture and computers for two new computer classrooms.
  • Purchase and installation of screens and projectors for the classrooms not equipped with them.
  • Increase in laboratory equipment (purchase of more practice stations, which reduces the size of the working group in the laboratory).
  • Construction work carried out for the creation of a Teachers’ Meeting Room, modifying the area dedicated to the Centre’s Seminars and equipping it (capacity for 44 people).

Actions during the 2013-2014 academic year:

  • Construction work carried out to adapt existing spaces for fifth-year subject laboratories.
  • Acquisition of the recommended bibliography for fifth-year subjects.
  • Acquisition of furniture and computers for two new computer classrooms.
  • Purchase and installation of screens and projectors for the classrooms not equipped with them.
  • Increase in laboratory equipment (purchase of more practice stations, which reduces the size of the working group in the laboratory).
  • Purchase of laptops to be used on board the JS Elcano for the practices of the subject “Machine Design” imparted on board.

Actions during the 2014-2015 academic year:

  • Increase in the equipment of laboratories, as well as the acquisition of material for Final Year Dissertations (TFG).
  • Increase of 9 teaching posts in the Centre’s offices.
  • Acquisition of 2 servers to increase the management capacity of the Centre’s network.
  • Complete refurbishment of the Chemistry Laboratory.

With all of the above, the 2015-2016 academic year has begun, with:

  • 2 large classrooms (80-100 students),
  • 15 classrooms with capacity for 40 students,
  • 6 seminars for 10-15 students + 4 seminars in the library,
  • 7 computer rooms
  • Laboratories with special dedication:
    • Physics
    • Chemistry
    • Electronics / Automation
    • Engines
    • Materials
    • Fluid Mechanics (Auxiliary Equipment).

In terms of network infrastructure, the CUD has fibre optics to interconnect the teaching network (consisting of theory classrooms, seminars and practical laboratories) with the central node. The network that provides WiFi to the students in the quarters, as well as the wired network of the study areas, also uses fibre optics to reach the central node. Another dedicated line goes to the library, both for CUD staff equipment serving the library and for student work equipment located in the library itself.

The offices of the PDI and PAS staff and the student secretary’s office are connected to the central node via Ethernet. The central node is connected through the School of Forestry Engineering of the Campus da Xunqueira of the University of Vigo by means of a symmetrical upload/download radio link that provides a rate of about 40Mbps. Precisely, at the time of writing this document, an investment in this infrastructure is being undertaken with the aim of improving this radio link, doubling its capacity.

The location of the classrooms, seminars and laboratories is distributed between the classroom courtyard and the Isaac Peral building.

2         Classrooms and seminars

As mentioned at the beginning of this document, a total of two large classrooms (80-100) are available. These classrooms are located in the Isaac Peral building and correspond to 52-54 and 56 on the following map (upper floor of the Isaac Peral).

../PLANOS/isaacplantaalta.jpg

The main purpose of these classrooms is to hold exams that require the simultaneous presence of all the students from the same brigade.

In addition, there are 15 classrooms with capacity for 40 students distributed amongst the upper floor of the Isaac Peral (previous plan), the ground floor of the Isaac Peral:

and upper floor of Classroom Courtyard

The seminars are located on the ground floor of the Classroom Courtyard and correspond to the non-numbered spaces on the left side of classroom 21.

All classrooms are equipped with the necessary teaching material (computer, projector, blackboard, chairs and tables for students,…).

4         Library.

The Spanish Naval Academy Library currently has two locations: the Historical, Central and Leisure Library “Cesáreo Fernández Duró” (156m2) located in the Classroom Courtyard, and the Academic Library “Gabriel Císcar y Císcar” (450 m2), located in the Students’ quarter “Almirante Francisco Moreno”.

../../../../../../../Downloads/1

The bibliographic collection of the Defense University Center consists mainly of the bibliography recommended by the lecturers of the Bachelor Degree in Mechanical Engineering subjects (as well as other complementary bibliography of these subjects), as well as that of the military field. It currently has approximately 1400 volumes.

According to the concept of the new library, the Library’s archives are organised in open access, following the Universal Decimal Classification, allowing for consultation in the reading room and loan at home, with timetables adapted to the students of the centre. The Library is organising other services such as interlibrary loan, intercampus with the University of Vigo, user training and reference and bibliographic information.

The catalogue can be consulted through the Collective Catalogue of the Defence Library Network. In addition, as an affiliated centre of the University of Vigo, the staff and students of the CUD have access through the Catalogue of the University Library of Vigo to its collections, as well as to the subscribed electronic resources: electronic journals, databases, e-books, etc.

The library remains open from Monday to Friday from 7.15 am to 2.45 pm and from 6.30 pm to 10.30 pm.
