INTRODUCTION

A Professional Meteorologist, in the exercise of his/her functions, satisfies the needs of meteorological and climatological information, as a way of contributing to the economic development and the safety of population. In addition, it conducts relevent research in its field, to contribute to the development of meteorology as a science.

LEARNING SCOPE ASSOCIATED WITH THE ACTIVITY

GENERAL PURPOSE OF THE ACTIVITY:

Link competences of the graduate profile, relating communication skills, digital use of information and atmospheric sciences

1. Communication skills associated with the Graduate Profile:

Communicational competences are understood as all those abilities that allow the specialist to provide the communicational knowledge and techniques to receive, process and deliver information under different communication channels (orally and in writing), so they can perform in a optimal and efficient way.

KNOWLEDGE; SKILLS; ATTITUDES

Conceptual: The student knows the communication techniques, orally and in writing, for the correct delivery of information regarding their field of specialty.

Procedural: The student processes data from its professional field from various sources, in its collection, integration, analysis and interpretation stages in order to transform it into grammatically correct oral and/or written reports.

Attitudinal: The student establishes communication with users and the media according to the responsibilities and functions that assist them based on fluency and relevance.

2. Skills in digital information processing

In a digital world, such as the current one, computer tools and the digital processing of information are fundamental tools in its orientation towards specialized work.
