Materials and Construction Technology

• ApresentaçãoPresentation

  The course provides knowledge about mechanical and civil construction materials and their resistance, addressing behavior, durability, safety, manufacturing processes, and quality control, as well as basic notions of Strength of Materials to ensure safe structures under different types of stress.
• ProgramaProgramme

  1. MATERIALS USED IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING Origin, properties, quality, applications, and safety aspects: 1.1 Ferrous: Carbon steels, alloy steels, cast irons 1.2 Non-ferrous Aluminum, copper, brass, bronze, zinc, tin, lead, platinum, magnesium, titanium. 1.3 Non-metallic: Ceramics, polymers, composites, and rubber. 2. MATERIALS USED IN CIVIL CONSTRUCTION Origin, properties, quality, applications, and safety aspects 2.1 Structural and decorative rocks, concrete, mortar, and ceramics. 2.2 Sealing and protective materials (bricks, glass, paints, and waterproofing materials) 3. CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY AND PROCESSES Description, advantages and disadvantages, quality, and safety aspects related to types of construction: 3.1 Handcrafted 3.2 Traditional 3.3 Rational 3.4 Industrialized 4. BASIC CONCEPTS OF MATERIAL STRENGTH 4.1 Mechanical stresses: tension, compression, bending, shear, torsion, buckling, and impact 4.2 Verification/calculation of dimensions under safe conditions
• ObjectivosObjectives

  O1. Provide students with general knowledge and decision-making skills regarding the materials to be used in mechanical and civil construction, from a cross-disciplinary perspective in the field of safety engineering: understanding the behavior, durability, and safety in the applications of the most frequently used construction materials; mastery of the techniques for manufacturing, preparing, and applying various materials and controlling their quality; knowledge of different construction technologies and processes. O2. Provide students with basic knowledge of Strength of Materials that allows them to understand how construction materials behave when subjected to stress, in order to ensure that they remain safe under normal conditions.

• MetodologiaMethodology

  Face-to-face: 1. Problem-Based Learning (PBL): in which students work on projects that solve real problems, promoting research, collaboration, and the development of practical skills. Gamification, incorporating game elements into teaching, such as points, badges, and challenges, to increase student engagement and motivation.  Independent: 2. Teacher-guided research aimed at consolidating the topics under study and providing input for the practical work developed by students.
