Objetivos
The student will learn the concepts and fundamentals of Hydraulics with interest for Civil Construction. Is expected the student to acquire a basic training in solving problems related to budget management and control, namely with regard to the planning and scheduling of works, coordination of construction documentation and respective cost estimates, budgets or work plans, encourage good safety practices on construction sites, coordinate and supervise the execution of construction works, ensuring compliance with deadlines and costs through optimization of resources needed for the work, quality management and reorganization of work in the face of errors, omissions and unforeseen events, coordinate and supervise the work of production teams given the production plan and quality control of the work, manage activities in works of different types from the architectural and specialty projects and control and evaluate the quality of structures, given the quality in execution and structural safety criteria. As a basic science for a construction technician, students should ensure their individual mastery of the subjects taught.
Resultados de aprendizagem e competências
The syllabus assures that all the curricular unit’s objectives are met, starting with basic concepts, such as organization and management, explaining important details related to management, accounting and budget analysis and control, passing also through important concepts such as construction as an industry, its importance, legislation, public procurement and permanence in the activity.
In each topic, theoretical concepts are taught in a way that students understand the simplifying hypotheses that are assumed in each context, learn when and why those can be made, in order to provide them with the ability to, in the future, understand whether they have the knowledge to undertake – or not – more complex studies. Practical courses are always prepared with examples that have a strong connection to civil construction situations.

Métodos de ensino e atividades de aprendizagem
The classes are theoretical and practical and taught in face-to-face and distance learning, developing with a strong connection to their practical application, with a special emphasis in the physical meaning of the phenomena under study, without complex mathematical formalism.
Due to the pandemic situation, the b-learning format is maintained through the MS Teams platform for synchronous classes and for evaluations. In the case of online assessments for the validation of grades, an oral assessment may be carried out for all students, being the final classification in the test and / or exam corresponding to this oral assessment.
