Engenharia Geológica na Universidade de Évora. A experiência dos estágios integrados em empresas no 1º Ciclo – Modelo 3G; Prosseguimento de estudos e integração de alunos no exterior no âmbito do 2º Ciclo.

Resumo Resultado de um investimento em meios humanos e materiais no domínio da Geo-Engenharia, ao longo de quase três décadas, a Universidade de Évora detém hoje um reconhecimento junto dos empregadores que têm acolhido os alunos desta instituição nas suas empresas. Este trabalho destina-se a partilhar a experiência que a Universidade de Évora (UE) acumulou no Ensino e Formação em Geo-Engenharia, em contexto empresarial. O Curso de Licenciatura em Engenharia Geológica da Universidade de Évora (LEG), assim como mais dois cursos da UE são pioneiros em Portugal, na medida em que preveem nos seus planos curriculares a possibilidade de os alunos puderem realizar estágios em contexto de trabalho no âmbito de Unidades Curriculares do 6º Semestre dos respetivos Cursos. No caso do LEG, apôs um período intensivo de quatro a cinco semanas de formação na Universidade, seguem-se três semanas de estágio numa empresa a eleger entre as trinta e duas que até agora aceitaram estabelecer protocolos para este fim. Este processo repete-se duas vezes por semestre. Em alternativa, os alunos que não desejem frequentar estes estágios terão uma formação clássica na Universidade. Neste artigo, apresentam-se os resultados até agora alcançados com este ensino diferenciado. A adaptação ao modelo de Bologna dos ensinos de 1º e 2º Ciclo resultou num défice de formação curricular indispensável para o pleno exercício da profissão de Engenheiro Geólogo. As competências específicas adquiridas ao fim de cada ciclo foram indicadas pela Ordem dos Engenheiros que contudo ressalva a necessidade de uma formação em Engenharia no 1º Ciclo para reconhecer as competências a atribuir a cada graduado nos mestrados de Engenharia. A experiência de formação no 2º ciclo em Engenharia Geológica, onde sensivelmente metade dos alunos é externa a Universidade de Évora, é alvo de análise neste trabalho. Palavras-Chave: Ensino; Engenharia Geológica; Bolonha; Competências; Empregabilidade Abstract Result of an investment in human and material resources in the field of Geo-Engineering, over nearly three decades, the University of Évora has now a recognition among employers that have accepted students of this institution in their companies. This work intended's to share University of Évora (UE) business context accumulated experiences in Education and Training in Geo-Engineering. The Degree in Geological Engineering from the University of Évora (LEG), as well as two courses in the UE are pioneers in Portugal, to the extent their curricula to possible students internships that can be perform in the workplace under Curricular Units of the 3th Year of the courses. In the case of the LEG, after an intensive period of four to five weeks of training at the University the students who desire it, can have a three weeks internship in a company to elect between the thirty-two that so far agreed to establish protocols with the UE, for this purpose. This process is repeated twice per semester. Alternatively, students who do not wish to attend these stages will have a classical education at the University. In this article, we present the results achieved so far with differentiated teaching. The adaptation to the Bologna model of 1st and 2nd cycles resulted in a lack of training curriculum essential to the full exercise of the Engineer Geologist profession. The specific skills acquired at the end of each cycle were indicated by the Engineers Chamber, however pointed needed training in the 1st Cycle Engineering to recognize the skills to give each graduate in Masters of Engineering. The experience of training in the 2nd cycle in Geological Engineering, where roughly half of the students came outside of the University of Évora, is also analyzed in this work.

Tacitus' Germania and the Jesuit Relations: Intertextuality in the Transatlantic World of the Early Jesuits in New France.

The first Europeans who wrote about the Indigenous people of the newly discovered Americas, not only used medieval, but also classical literature as a tool of reference to describe 'otherness.' As true humanists, the French Jesuits who arrived in the New World were deeply influenced by their classical education and, as claimed by Grafton, reverted to ancient ethnographic texts, like Tacitus' Germania, to support their analyse of the Indigenous people they encountered. Books talk to books. Inspired by Germania, the early French Jesuits managed to convey to their readers a subtle critique of their own civilization, enhancing, like Tacitus, the virtuous aspect of the so-called barbarians they described while illustrating the corruption of their respective civilized worlds. This thesis suggests that the essence of Tacitus' work is definitively present in Pierre Biard's letters and his Relation. His testimonies illustrate the connection the early French Jesuits had with the humanist thought of their time.

'Your secret language': classics in the British colonies of West Africa

What were the cultural politics of classics in British colonies? Did classical education operate as a sign of oppression, or as a tool for forging an anti-colonial politics? Why did Europeans bring the classics to West Africa, and how did they manage the developing dynamic when West Africans laid independent claim to the classical heritage? This ground-breaking study examines the ways in which European colonisers and West African nationalists clashed, or collaborated, over the uses of Latin, Greek and the classics.

Os estudos clássicos no Brasil colonial: uma breve proposta para a reintrodução de um assunto

This paper wishes to reintroduce, in a brief manner, a subject which has been neglected in the recent past: the history of Classical Studies in colonial Brazil. As an introduction to this complex issue, it aims at a historical review of the ideal of humanitas in the Academias of the eighteenth century. The presence of this ideal in the Academias is seen as a result of the classical education of the Brazilian people, a process which begins with the arrival of Jesuit missionaries in 1549 and 1553. In our discussion, we shall use the ideas of Dante Tringali (1994), Fernando de Azevedo (1958), Antônio Cândido (1977), José Aderaldo Castello (1969), among others.
