The renovation of teaching and learning methodologies, promoted by the onset of the Bologna Declaration, is leading to shifting perceptions of roles and responsibilities of both teachers and students. Particularly in large engineering classes, certain subjects benefit from more active approaches to learning, namely those associated with team work and tutorial practices, rather than traditional lecture/teacher-d...
Newer approaches to teaching are being promoted by the onset of the Bologna Declaration. This paper describes the implementation of a methodology for promoting independent group work using tutorial techniques in the context of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) course included in the undergraduate Civil Engineering programme at the University of Minho. The authors were faced with a multi-faceted problem:...
The renovation of teaching methodologies is leading to shifting perceptions of roles and responsibilities of both teachers and students concerning the way traditional and new materials are presented and learnt. While teachers strive to be creative and flexible and provide students with practical means for “self-teaching”, students recognise the need for more responsibility and discipline. This paper describes a...

Tendo em vista a análise dos usos do solo no Vale do Douro e a quantificação das alterações dos mesmos, recorreu-se a imagens de satélite e cartografia convencional das quais se extraiu informação que foi incorporada numa base de dados, processada, validada e utilizada para a produção de cartografia temática de acordo com tipos de usos de solo previamente definidos. Estes foram identificados e a área por eles o...
Infrastructure systems are at the core of urban sustainability issues. As population growth in urban centres continues to increase, infrastructure requires both development and rehabilitation. Unsurprisingly, this challenge is more evident in urban centres across the world and Portugal is not exception. To address this issue, the technical proposal of the Portuguese Program of the Policies for Land-Use Planning...
