The student should be able to: i) have basic knowledge 
in matters related to construction sciences, namely: 
construction materials, structural and non-structural 
elements, construction processes, hygrothermal, acoustics, 
ventilation, natural lighting; ii) design, with scientifically 
based knowledge, current constructions, taking into account the 
respect for existing legislation, regulation and standardization; 
iii) carry out design, design, construction, inspection and 
evaluation work involving the choice of the most appropriate 
construction solutions, through a comparative analysis of different 
solutions and the preparation of justifying calculations that 
demonstrate their suitability.

Provide students with basic knowledge of Statics, enabling them to:
- solve problems involving the equilibrium of particles and
rigid bodies, with and without friction;
- determine the position of the center of mass of composite bodies;
- determine support reactions and draw stress diagrams.
The student should assimilate basic knowledge of the functioning of the various existing structural systems and particularities associated with them depending on the construction material adopted, with an emphasis on reinforced and pre-stressed concrete structures, metal structures, steel-concrete mixed structures and prefabricated structures .

To acquire calculation techniques widely used in other curricular units, among which the matrix language, the representation of systems of linear equations and their resolution, calculation of determinants and their applications.
