Mandatory literature

Calejo Rodrigues, Rui; Metodologia da Fiscalização de Obras - v 5.0 (available in "conteudos")

Teaching methods and learning activities

The general methodology will be based on motivational learning exposing trainees to the problem to which theoretical notions can give solution.  The concept of professional "tool" is redundant throughout the process.

A process of self-criticism based on practical group classes is stimulated, avoiding self-convincing resulting from an individual learning process.

A visit study plan that allows contact with quality control teams at work will allow you to observe the practice and problem associated with these themes.

The evaluation provides for two different moments; one in a work  group around a practical theme [40%] and the second individual moment, face-to-face, around theoretical issues. [60%]
