Learning outcomes |
To provide advanced and multidisciplinary training, based on qualitative, quantitative, experimental, theoretical, and field applied methodologies and approaches, regarding the challenges relevant to infrastructure, sustainability and resilience, in its broadest sense, contemplating environmental, economic and social factors, namely:
a) Mastery of the multidisciplinary challenges related to infrastructures and sustainability in different geographical scales and scenarios;
b) Mastering concepts of ecology and climate change; and economic and life cycle concepts; applied to resource assessment, design and construction of infrastructures;
c) Mastery of methodologies, qualitative and quantitative approaches, for the sustainability and resilience of infrastructures;
d) Understanding of numerical models used to integrate sustainability and resilience concepts in infrastructures;
Understanding of emerging technologies related to infrastructures, resilience and sustainable development;
