Fire Prevention and Protection

Engineering Work Safety
  • ApresentaçãoPresentation
    The course introduces the fundamentals of fire safety in buildings, enabling students to read and interpret SCIE projects, learn about analysis methods, and ultimately design small fire safety projects independently, including coordination with hydraulic networks.

  • ObjectivosObjectives
    O1, Students during the module will stay with the core knowledge sufficient to read and interpret a small draft fire safety.  O2. Students should be driven by the themes of approach to fire safety and will necessarily have contact with the different methods of analysis of fire safety in buildings  O3. At the end of the unit, students should be ready to develop a small project for fire safety in buildings, without necessarily being required to build a network of fire, although there may interpret the areas on the project of hydraulic networks.

  • MetodologiaMethodology
    Face-to-face: 1. Teaching methodologies are based on interrogative and active methods in order to generate discussion and resolution of theoretical and practical exercises in the classroom context. 2. Learning based on case studies and exercises. Independent: 3. Consolidation of the content taught in class through additional research on the different topics and content covered and the development of complementary work.
