Construction management learning in Portugal

Ver documento

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:Construction management in Portugal is chiefly lectured in higher education institutions. Construction management topics are included both in undergraduate and graduate programmes. However, these programmes are seldom structured in terms of a specific curriculum or even in terms of options within other curricula. Moreover, some subjects are included in several courses lacking consistency to the set of subjects lectured. This paper reports a survey made to Portuguese higher education institutions in the scope of a Leonardo da Vinci project that aimed at establishing specific curricula for management in construction. The paper further presents the conclusions of the project and suggests a set of lecturing management areas in construction.
