Bachelor in Civil Engineering
Education objectives
The Civil Engineering degree (LEC) from NOVA FCT provides basic skills in the field of Civil Engineering and a solid background in Basic Sciences and Engineering Sciences; enhances the students´ ability to understand the economic, industrial, commercial, social and professional environment in which engineering acts are performed; develops oral and written communication skills, in different contexts and in front of different interlocutors; trains and promotes teamwork and enhances constructive critical thinking and decision-making in current contexts.
NOVA FCT´s LEC provides the bases of scientific and technical knowledge that will allow the graduate to pursue the 2nd cycle studies (MSc). It also stimulates the individual skills of professional interaction, facilitating the integration of the graduate into the job market within the scope of activities related to the area of Civil Engineering Sciences.
In addition, NOVA FCT´s LEC includes complementary transversal training in soft skills (transversal competences for science and technology, society, sustainability and digital transformation and an introduction program to professional practice / scientific research).
The Civil Engineering graduate of NOVA FCT will thus be able to respond to the current challenges of a built environment that is intended to be safe, comfortable, durable and sustainable, in line with the United Nations´ sustainable development objectives.

Evaluation rules
The evaluation of all UCs is continuous for all the components that integrate it, and it must be completed by the last day of the school term of the academic semester.
The continuous evaluation of a UC must include a minimum of three elements in the set of evaluation components, on dates adequately spaced throughout the period of classes.
All UCs with a theoretical-practical evaluation component must provide, in addition, a form of evaluation of this component by exam, to be carried out after the period of classes (Examination of Appeal).
All requirements and conditions related to the evaluation of the UC, namely the minimum weights and classifications, if any, of each component, as well as the Frequency conditions, are defined a priori and, mandatorily, published in the Discipline Form.
For each UC, combinations of three evaluation components are allowed: (i) Theoretical-practical evaluation; (ii) Laboratory or project evaluation; (iii) Summative assessment.
