A methodology and framework for discipline-specific curriculum development in a local context is described. These activities, as part of the Thailand-Australia Science and Engineering Assistance Project, were in response to a needs analysis for curriculum assistance to a number of publicly-funded Thai universities in the engineering priority area of Materials Processing and Manufacturing. The paper outlines a strategy for the delivery of a centralised curriculum development workshop for academic staff follow-up visits and local curriculum activities with participating universities, and the presentation of technical short courses as guidance for such activity in other settings and/or discipline areas. This paper is part of a process of documentation so that others can apply the developed methodology and framework for curriculum development. While the paper is a report on curriculum activities in a particular setting, it is written in a manner that allows application of the methodology to other settings. The reader is advised that each curriculum activity needs to adopt a methodology and strategy to fit the particular circumstances being considered To assist in applying this approach elsewhere, a description of the various steps in the curriculum process, and typical responses to some of the more global issues, have been presented. Full details are available in the various TASEAP reports prepared by the authors. Specific detail has been omitted where this detail does not provide any information for generalized consumption.

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo principal investigar concepções que estudantes do terceiro ano do ensino médio possuem sobre direitos e obrigações essenciais ao exercício da cidadania. Para tanto, foi elaborado um questionário composto de 20 questões fechadas e 9 questões abertas na forma de estudo de caso abordando alguns direitos e obrigações essenciais ao exercício pleno da vida civil. O instrumento foi submetido a 136 estudantes, entre 16 e 18 anos, de ambos os sexos, regularmente matriculados no terceiro ano de três escolas públicas de Ensino Médio. Os resultados apontam que, de modo geral, as concepções dos estudantes sobre legislação estão mais próximas das disposições legislativas naqueles direitos que permeiam sua realidade prática e, vai se distanciando à medida que os direitos propostos estavam distantes de sua realidade, de modo que, aparentemente, o conhecimento que os mesmos possuem acerca dos direitos repousam mais no senso comum que no aprendizado escolar. As conclusões apontam a necessidade de estratégias pedagógicas para inserção de noções de Direito para os estudantes do Ensino Médio, principalmente transversalmente aos conteúdos concernentes às disciplinas da área das Ciências Humanas. Com base nessas conclusões, foi elaborada uma proposta com sugestões de diretrizes para implementação da Educação em Direito no contexto das disciplinas de História, Geografia, Sociologia e Filosofia, à partir de um entrelaçamento entre os conteúdos presentes no Currículo Básico da Escola Estadual do Espírito Santo e dispositivos legislativos que pudessem dialogar com as temáticas, em busca de estabelecer uma proposta mínima que pudesse, sem prejuízo do desenvolvimento dos conteúdos, servir como instrumento para promoção da Educação em Direito, contribuindo, assim, na formação para a Cidadania.

Arquitetura Corporativa promove o estabelecimento de uma visão holística da estrutura e forma de trabalho de uma organização. Um dos aspectos abordados em Arquitetura Corporativa está associada a "estrutura ativa" da organização, que diz respeito a “quem" realiza as atividades organizacionais. Várias abordagens têm sido propostas a fim de proporcionar um meio para a representação de Arquitetura Corporativa, entre as quais ARIS, RM-ODP, UPDM e ArchiMate. Apesar da aceitação por parte da comunidade, as abordagens existentes se concentram em propósitos diferentes, têm limitações de escopo e algumas não têm semântica de mundo real bem definida. Além das abordagens de modelagem, muitas abordagens de ontologias têm sido propostas, a fim de descrever o domínio de estrutura ativa, incluindo as ontologias de SUPER Project, TOVE, Enterprise Ontology e W3C Org Ontology. Embora especificadas para fundamentação semântica e negociação de significado, algumas das abordagens propostas têm fins específicos e cobertura limitada. Além disso, algumas das abordagens não são definidas usando linguagens formais e outras são especificadas usando linguagens sem semântica bem definida. Este trabalho apresenta uma ontologia de referência bem fundamentada para o domínio organizacional. A ontologia organizacional de referência apresentada abrange os aspectos básicos discutidos na literatura organizacional, tais como divisão do trabalho, relações sociais e classificação das unidades estruturais. Além disso, também abrange os aspectos organizacionais definidos em abordagens existentes, levando em consideração tanto abordagens de modelagem quanto abordagens ontológicas. A ontologia resultante é especificada em OntoUML e estende os conceitos sociais de UFO-C.

A presente pesquisa faz uma análise sobre o reconhecimento da necessidade da Música na Escola, levando em consideração o caráter interdisciplinar, lúdico e as restantes propriedades da música, capazes de promover cada vez mais sinapses, fato este comprovado pela Neurociência, em que o aluno passa a estar mais motivado, através da constante e percetível ativação de diversas áreas cerebrais distintas das áreas específicas do tratamento da informação musical. O ponto de partida para esta pesquisa foi a Lei 11.769/08 do Governo Federal Brasileiro que trata da obrigatoriedade do ensino da música na educação básica, a partir deste momento, houve grandes perspetivas e projetos direcionados ao retorno da música à sala de aula, focalizando a atenção para a melhor organização dos espaços, nomeadamente, estruturas, materiais e pessoal, de forma a garantir o sucesso do ensino através da música. Tendo em conta a implementação desta lei, houve a necessidade de analisar na prática, os benefícios da música na aprendizagem, bem como a formação do docente para esta atividade. Deste modo, fez-se o enquadramento teórico com base nos conhecimentos já existentes sobre políticas educativas públicas e o ensino artístico, especificamente a presença da Música no currículo escolar. Este enquadramento serviu de base para a realização de um estudo no município de Coelho Neto no Maranhão – Brasil, com base na temática: ―A Importância da Música na Motivação do Aluno‖, que demonstrou a falta de preparação dos docentes no que concerne à música. Assim, esta investigação-ação levou-nos à elaboração do Projeto ―Formar para melhor ensinar‖, no sentido de ajudar os professores a superar esta lacuna. Este projeto será implementado no próximo ano letivo.

This paper summarizes a project that is contributing to a change in the way of teaching and learning Mathematics. Mathematics is a subject of the Accounting and Administration course. In this subject we teach: Functions and Algebra. The aim is that the students understand the basic concepts and is able to apply them in other issues, when possible, establishing a bridge between the issues that they have studied and their application in Accounting. As from this year, the Accounting course falls under in Bologna Process. The teacher and the student roles have changed. The time for theoretical and practical classes has been reduced, so it was necessary to modify the way of teaching and learning. In the theoretical classes we use systems of multimedia projection to present the concepts, and in the practical classes we solve exercises. To supplement our theoretical and practical classes we have developed an active mathematics project called MatActiva based on the Moodle platform offered by PAOL - Projecto de Apoio Online (Online Support Project). In the last versions of Moodle, it is possible use the TeX language to create math questions. Using this tool we created a set of interactive materials. With the creation of this new project we wanted to take advantage already obtained results with the previous experiences, giving to the students opportunities to complement their study in Mathematics. One of the great objectives is to motivate students, encourage them to overcome theirs difficulties through an auto-study, giving them more confidence and the opportunity to seeing others perspectives of the mathematics subjects. In the MatActiva project the students have a big collection of information about the way of the subject works, which includes the objectives, the program, recommended bibliography, evaluation method and summaries. It works as material support for the practical and theoretical classes, the slides of the theoretical classes are available, the sheets with exercises for the students to do in the classroom and complementary exercises, as well as the exams of previous years. Students can also do diagnostic tests and evaluation tests online. Our approach is a reflexive one, based on the professional experience of the teachers that explore and incorporate new tools of Moodle with their students and coordinate the project MatActiva.

Este relatório é elaborado no âmbito do estágio curricular no regime de parceria entre o Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto e o gabinete de projetos SE2P – Sociedade de Engenharia, Projetos e Planeamento, Lda. O tema do estágio é o estudo de colunas mistas aço-betão na vertente de projeto, mais concretamente através da criação dum processo de cálculo automático integrado com o modelo estrutural global. Aplicam-se os métodos de dimensionamento dos eurocódigos estruturais na avaliação da segurança dos estados limites. Avaliam-se as propriedades geométricas, determina-se a curva de interação, calcula-se a posição do eixo neutro donde se inferem os estados de tensão em flexão desviada ao nível da secção, necessários às verificações de segurança. O processo de cálculo tem por base uma folha de cálculo desenvolvida em Excel que, com ajuda do Visual Basic for Applications, comunica com o software de modelação e cálculo estrutural Autodesk Robot Professional Analisys. Cria-se fluxos de informação que possibilitam o cálculo iterativo de colunas mistas permitindo ajustar e por esta via otimizar as soluções de dimensionamento. A exportação de relatórios de cálculo detalhados para cada coluna constitui uma mais-valia para gabinetes de engenharia quando comparada com outras soluções de dimensionamento existentes no mercado. A aplicação do processo de cálculo desenvolvido a múltiplas combinações de soluções de colunas mistas permitiu analisar comparativamente os resultados obtidos e a criação de tabelas e ábacos que poderão ser úteis em cenários de pré-dimensionamento e de anteprojeto.

This work project is about developing a marketing plan for a new gin brand in Germany. It is based on consumer and market research, including Portugal as a trend market for the qualitative research. For the undertaking it is seen as fundamental to understand the industry as well as the consumer needs, attitudes and preferences. Furthermore, it is important to consider the estimation of opinion leaders and trendsetters in the industry. In this context it turned out that barkeepers have a key-influencing role for the stimulation of demand. Based on the insights from this research as well as on the gained market knowledge, the marketing plan was developed. The goal is to convince other brand users to switch brands.

In museum studies and history of art, what happens behind the scenes of museums stays relatively unseen and unspoken about. In the arts, generally speaking, what is dismissed as irrelevant (e.g. the realm of practices) is deliberately detached from what is thought to really matter; theory, discourse, content and meaning. Up till recently, backstage activities such as conservation practices are merely discussed among specialists and museum professionals. Only the outcomes of these discussions are sometimes – if at all – explicitly communicated to a larger public. Studies into the practices of contemporary art conservation however show that practices behind the scenes play an important role in the perpetuation of these artworks. What happens behind the scenes in terms of conservation has, in several ways, important effects on the ongoing life of these artworks in a museum context. Conservation practices, I argue, should therefore become a necessary part of museum studies and history of art. How can the working practices of conservators become more visible and transparent to a diversity of audiences, including researchers? And what does this mean in terms of research methodology?

In broad sense, Project Financing1 as a mean of financing large scale infrastructural projects worldwide has had a steady growth in popularity for the last 20 years. This growth has been relatively unscathed from most economic cycles. However in the wake of the 2007 systemic Financial Crisis, Project Financing was also in trouble. The liquidity freeze and credit crunch that ensued affected all parties involved. Traditional Lenders, of this type of financial instrument, locked-in long-term contractual obligations, were severely hit with scarcity of funding compounded by rapidly increasing cost of funding. All the while, Banks were “rescued” by the concerted actions of Central Banks and other Multi-Lateral Agencies around the world but at the same time “stressed” by upcoming regulatory effort (Basel Committee). This impact resulted in specific changes to this type of long-term financing. Changes such as Commercial Banks’ increased risk aversion; pricing increase and maturities decrease of credit facilities; enforcement of Market Disruption Event clauses; partial responsibility for project risk by Multilateral Agencies; and adoption of utility-like availability payments in other industrial sectors such as transportation and even social infrastructure. To the extent possible, this report is then divided in three parts. First, it begins with a more instructional part, touching academic literature (theory) and giving the Banks perspective (practice), but mostly as an overview of Project Finance for awareness’ sake. The renowned Harvard Business School professor – Benjamin Esty, states2 that Project Finance is a “relatively unexplored territory for both empirical and theoretical research” which means that academic research efforts are lagging the practice of Project Finance. Second, the report presents a practical case regarding the first Road Concession in Portugal in 1998 ending with the lessons learned 10 years after Financial Close. Lastly, the report concludes with the analysis of the current trends and changes to the industry post Financial Crisis of the late 2000’s. To achieve this I’ll reference relevant papers, books on the subject, online articles and my own experience in the Project Finance Department at a major Portuguese Investment Bank. Regarding the latter, with the signing of a confidentiality agreement, I’m duly omitting sensitive and proprietary bank information.

During recent decades it has been possible to identify several problems in construction industry project management, related with to systematic failures in terms of fulfilling its schedule, cost and quality targets, which highlight a need for an evaluation of the factors that may cause these failures. Therefore, it is important to understand how project managers plan the projects, so that the performance and the results can be improved. However, it is important to understand if other areas beyond cost and time management that are mentioned on several studies as the most critical areas, receive the necessary attention from construction project managers. Despite the cost and time are the most sensitive areas/fields, there are several other factors that may lead to project failure. This study aims at understand the reasons that may cause the deviation in terms of cost, time and quality, from the project management point of view, looking at the knowledge areas mentioned by PMI (Project Management Institute).

This paper presents a framework of competences developed for Industrial Engineering and Management that can be used as a tool for curriculum analysis and design, including the teaching and learning processes as well as the alignment of the curriculum with the professional profile. The framework was applied to the Industrial Engineering and Management program at University of Minho (UMinho), Portugal, and it provides an overview of the connection between IEM knowledge areas and the competences defined in its curriculum. The framework of competences was developed through a process of analysis using a combination of methods and sources for data collection. The framework was developed according to four main steps: 1) characterization of IEM knowledge areas; 2) definition of IEM competences; 3) survey; 4) application of the framework at the IEM curriculum. The findings showed that the framework is useful to build an integrated vision of the curriculum. The most visible aspect in the learning outcomes of IEM program is the lack of balance between technical and transversal competences. There was not almost any reference to the transversal competences and it is fundamentally concentrated on Project-Based Learning courses. The framework presented in this paper provides a contribution to the definition of IEM professional profile through a set of competences which need to be explored further. In addition, it may be a relevant tool for IEM curriculum analysis and a contribution for bridging the gap between universities and companies.

Risk management is an important component of project management. Nevertheless, such process begins with risk assessment and evaluation. In this research project, a detailed analysis of the methodologies used to treat risks in investment projects adopted by the Banco da Amazonia S.A. was made. Investment projects submitted to the FNO (Constitutional Fund for Financing the North) during 2011 and 2012 were considered for that purpose. It was found that the evaluators of this credit institution use multiple indicators for risk assessment which assume a central role in terms of decision-making and contribute for the approval or the rejection of the submitted projects; namely, the proven ability to pay, the financial records of project promotors, several financial restrictions, level of equity, level of financial indebtedness, evidence of the existence of a consumer market, the proven experience of the partners/owners in the business, environmental aspects, etc. Furthermore, the bank has technological systems to support the risk assessment process, an internal communication system and a unique system for the management of operational risk.
