Construction Materials II

Base Knowledge

Knowledge of mass and volumetric characteristics, subject taught in the course of Construction Materials I.

Teaching Methodologies

In Theoretical-Practical classes, the expository method is used during the explanation of theoretical subjects and the resolution of exercises in groups and individually. The Tutorials are dedicated to clarifying doubts and monitoring the evolution of the resolution of the works. In addition, students will be monitored by clarifying theoretical doubts and solving exercises. In laboratory classes the descriptive and experimental demonstrative method is used.

Learning Results
