Interdisciplinaridade em componentes curriculares do Departamento de Engenharia de Transportes por meio da aprendizagem baseada em projetos

Abstract

Interdisciplinarity occurs when there is coordinated cooperation and dialogue between disciplines (SILVA, 2016). Thus, in the Civil Engineering course of the Federal University of Ceará it is possible to perceive that there are these relations between the disciplines offered by the Department of Transport Engineering. In the basic cycle of the course there is teached Topography, which serves as the first setting of the postulant to engineer in the field of work. The topographic service can be aided by geotechnologies, which facilitates the capture and processing of data. These activities are preliminary to the Project and Construction of the Road Infrastructure, a discipline offered in the professional cycle, in this one there is the resumption of fundamental concepts previously taught for the sustainability of teaching. Currently, the software supports the projects developed in the disciplines, for example, DataGeosis, which manages to work on the steps of capturing, processing and applying the data collected. In these stages there is a direct relation with the three disciplines offered in sequence. In this way, the study seeks to understand and interlink the knowledge acquired progressively in the course, in order to make explicit an active teaching methodology, the learning based on projects.
