The main objective of the Building Construction Technologies I curricular unit is to describe and understand the phases of civil engineering project development, construction techniques, and key regulations. It focuses on the study of written and drawn documents related to civil engineering specialties, as well as elements of structural systems and details. It also covers wall finishes and general aspects of drawing standardization. The course aims to provide future engineers with the knowledge needed to correctly interpret engineering projects and support decisions regarding construction techniques and materials. Additionally, it introduces fire safety in buildings (SCIE), covering concepts such as reaction to fire, fire resistance, heat transfer, and risk factors defined by current legislation, including building type height, occupancy, and modified fire load density, as well as the criteria for determining risk categories and completing the safety data sheet.

Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
In the relevant Curricular Unit, theoretical concepts will be aligned with practical applications in real-life cases. Collaboration among students and with the instructor is encouraged during classes to work as a team in problem-solving. Students will be presented with topics and problems for subsequent contextualization of the concepts. "Problem-Based Learning" (PBL) practices are highly valued in all classes of this specific Curricular Unit.
