Integrator Project

Recommended Prerequisites

Building Materials; Mechanics II; and Strength of Materials, Structural Analysis; Regional and Urban Planning; Transports; Engineering Geology; Soil Mechanics; Hydraulics; Hydrology.

Teaching Methods

Teaching methods acquire practical nature, involving tutorial orientation, with monitoring and supervision of computer modeling works and laboratory tests. Throughout the duration of the course, all groups will have contact with all scientific areas of Civil Engineering. In order to ensure continuous work development during the course, students should periodically deliver progress reports of work in progress.

Learning Outcomes

This course aims at promoting the interdisciplinarity and contextualization of the themes / subjects addressed during the course of Civil Engineering Degree.

In more specific terms:

i) To promote the use of theoretical knowledge to solve practical problems, bringing the knowledge obtained in the classroom closer to professional activity in the field of civil engineering.

ii) To promote the connection between the contents studied throughout the course, addressing complementary themes, in order to promote the integral formation of the student.

iii) Development of competencies in the area of work organization and collaboration within the aim of multidisciplinary projets.

iv) Development of a projet that comprises the various phases that are to be found in practice activity.

v) Encourage creativity, critical spirit, autonomy, as well as initiative and innovation.

vi) Promote teamwork and healthy competition between the various groups.

Syllabus

Phases and parts of a Civil Engineering project.

Analysis, in working groups, of specific problems related to Civil Engineering through the perspectives of different scientific areas. The problems under analysis may involve the proposal of alternative technical solutions, and require the performance of laboratory tests, supported by computer modeling and the issuance of a written report.

Chosen as a specific object of study, students will make their analysis by desirably integrating knowledge from various areas of engineering.
