Learning outcomes |
To provide appropriate training in the science of building materials, their structure, properties, processing conditions and performance, providing the basis for the development of knowledge in building materials and the design and construction and buildings in architecture.
a) Mastery of selecting and application of different materials based on technical criteria for different conditions of use and performance in general;
b) Mastery of the properties of construction materials;
c) Understanding the types of building materials available and the properties they must possess for different applications;
d) Understanding the need to use durable materials with better functional and environmental performance and for recycling and reuse of materials at their end lifecycle;
e) Recognition of different construction materials used and requirements for their use.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The lectures are predominantly expository and inductive methods, presenting practical cases and everyday problems beyond theoretical content. In practical classes, students independently construct individual dossiers by solving exercises, under the supervision of teachers, through consultation of a bibliography for this purpose.
The evaluation consists of the following components: an individual written test covering both theoretical and practical questions (WTT); and a practical/laboratory and design project (PWR), which involves the development of a group study, either in the lab and/or through the design of a prototype/new concept development, followed by a presentation and discussion.
