Learning outcomes There is the objective of forming professionals in agreement with the following competences:
a) Recognition of the importance of the environmental aspects in the underground space;
b) Understanding of the importance of the groundwater as resource in the human activity and domain of means and protection methods and management of this resource;
c) Recognition of the several types of geossynthetics, its mechanical and hydraulic characterization, and to understand the empiric criteria about design of their applications;
d ) Recognition of the vegetation type in works of civil engineering in applications of stability and still in situations to lessening negatives environmental aspects;
e) Capacity of locating, to design and of the construction of Waste Disposal. To understand the advantages of the reuse of some wastes in the mechanical improvement of earth structures;
f) To understand the usefulness of geotechnical and environmental maps for an appropriate occupation of the territory.
