Abstract
Resumo: O Processo de Bolonha coloca novos desafios aos Cursos Superiores em geral e, em particular, os que integram a área da Geotecnia. O regime de ECTS (European Credit Transfer System),baseado no tempo de trabalho global do aluno para atingir os objectivos propostos para uma determinada disciplina, implicou a redução da carga horária presencial. Na licenciatura de Engenharia Geológica da Universidade Nova de Lisboa, os programas de Mecânica dos Solos, Movimentos de Terrenos e Estabilidade de Taludes e Resistência de Materiais foram adaptados a esta nova realidade, procurando tirar maior partido do trabalho individual realizado para alémdo tempo de aulas. Neste sentido foram implementados, em software comercial (versão estudante ou de fácil aquisição), alguns problemas didácticos, os quais utilizam a folha EXCELda Microsoft e os programas SLOPE/W e ANSYS.
Abstract: The Bolonha Process assigns new challenges in higher education and in geotechnical courses in particular. The ECTS (European Credit Transfer System), based on the student workload required to achieve the objectives of a programme study, implied reducing contact hours. In the undergraduate course on Geological Engineering, the programmes of the disciplines of Soil Mechanics, Earth Movements and Slope Stability and Mechanics of Materials were modified to take into account private study beyond taught classes. Being so, it was used commercial software (student version or easily available) for solving some didactical examples, such asspreadsheet applications with Microsoft EXCEL, SLOPE/W e ANSYS.
