Class Fire Safety in Buildings Project

This course covers most fire safety topics, as students are required to complete a project, which requires them to work on all topics. Its existence arises as a natural consequence of two other courses, also in the field of fire safety, allowing for the consolidation of all fundamental aspects of fire safety in buildings, necessary for a better understanding of the topics covered in other courses.

Not applicable

The curricular unit has no specific syllabus, as it involves applying the knowledge acquired in the course " Regulation of Fire Safety in Buildings" in order to realize a fire safety project for a 4th risk category building, based on these regulations.

A tutorial model is proposed, as it more effectively fulfils the purpose of developing this work, which is carried out individually and requires more personalized support. Thus, students will have the opportunity to progressively build up their project, with close monitoring by a tutor, who will be one of the master's lecturers chosen by the student. In this solution, theoretical-practical classes are intended to give the student the opportunity to develop parts of the project in the classroom, under the supervision and monitoring of the teacher. They will serve the teacher to be aware of the state of development of each project and assess the student's difficulties. In turn, the tutorial sessions serve as a complementary support instrument for the student's work throughout the entire curricular unit
