Sistemas de Apoio a Projectos Ambientais

Objectives

Provide students with a basic understanding of geodesic and cartographic reference systems. Presentation of the main methodologies for acquiring geographic information (direct and indirect methods). Introduction to modelling and analysis of geographic information in a GIS environment, for application in engineering design. Basic knowledge of Technical Design as a communication language in Engineering. Representation by elevated projections applied to ground intervention works. Use of graphics systems in the design of ground works—introduction to BIM and practice of BIM-based tools. Introduction to programming applied to environmental projects to integrate environmental data.

Syllabus

Introduction to geodetic and cartographic coordinate systems. Reading and interpretation of cartography at various scales. Methodologies for acquiring geographic information (direct and indirect methods) (1.5 weeks) Introduction to modelling and analysis of geographic information in a GIS environment, for application in engineering design (2 weeks) Introduction to elevation projection and representation of the surface ground, and implementation of engineering works. Use of a CAD system in the preparation of system grid stracings in the plant and longitudinal profile. Knowledge of BIM methodology and the capacity to model buildings and equipment, drainage and sanitation (1,5 weeks). Introduction to Python. Management of modules and environments with Anaconda.

Prerequisites

No prerequisites for the frequency of the curricular unit.

Cross Competence Component

Intrapersonal and interpersonal skills are acquired in the development and presentation of the work. The percentage of assessment associated with these skills should be around 10%.

Programming And Computing Component

The unit transfers know-how in computer programming applied to environmental projects using Python.

Ethical Principles

All members of a group are responsible for the group’s work In any assessment every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used. In an oral assessment, every student shall be alble to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
