Title: Sustentabilidade no uso de água para rega em estruturas desportivas: caso estudo - Estádio da Luz - Sport Lisboa e Benfica Authors: Aguiar, Maura Andreia da Silva Abstract: Este trabalho foi realizado no âmbito do conceito de aproveitamento de água pluvial para rega em estruturas desportivas, tendo como caso de estudo o Estádio da Luz – Sport Lisboa e Benfica. Consiste, na avaliação da possibilidade de utilização/benefício associado à utilização da água pluvial para a rega do relvado do caso de estudo, em função das características da estrutura, dos registos pluviométricos e da qualidade da água pluvial.; This work was performed under the concept of harnessing rainwater for watering sports structures, taking as case study the Benfica Stadium - Sport Lisboa e Benfica. It consists in the evaluation of possibility of use / benefits associated to the use of rainwater for irrigation the lawn in the case study, according to the characteristics of the structure, of rainfall records and quality of rainwater.

Title: Galgamento de estruturas marítimas: comparação de ferramentas de cálculo Authors: Rodrigues, Euclides José de Carvalho Silva Abstract: O presente trabalho estuda o fenómeno do galgamento em estruturas marítimas utilizando diversas metodologias (fórmulas empíricas, redes neuronais e modelação física) e analisa e quantifica o galgamento para um caso de estudo da costa portuguesa. O caso de estudo é o quebra-mar do Porto de Rabo de Peixe (São Miguel, Açores), cujos ensaios foram realizados no Pavilhão de Hidráulica Marítima do Laboratório Nacional de Engenharia Civil (LNEC). Comparam-se os valores do caudal médio galgado por metro de desenvolvimento de estrutura obtidos nos ensaios em modelo físico reduzido com os valores provenientes da aplicação das ferramentas empíricas recomendadas no manual Europeu dos galgamentos (Pullen et al., 2007) para o quebra-mar em estudo, isto é, fórmulas empíricas e uma ferramenta que resulta da análise de redes neuronais artificiais.

Title: Towards technology stewardship: tools for encouraging student engagement Authors: Wiiliams, Bill; Neto, Pedro; Carvalho, Isabel S. Abstract: Getting more specialist engineering faculty members involved in the practice of high quality engineering education research (EER) has been a recurring concern at conferences and has been addressed in various initiatives over the last decade. We consider the technology stewardship concept proposed by Etienne Wenger et al. to be a fruitful area for engineering educators who have been increasingly faced with decisions relating to IT-based tools arising from a rapid proliferation of IT technology and tools and a growing emphasis on quality assurance in higher education. Choices need to be made in areas of technology selection, design and adaptation and as these decisions require competences from both engineering and pedagogical domains, the engineering instructor needs to be able to draw upon both these areas of knowledge and in this paper,as part of a pedagogical framework, we set out to illustrate the processes of tool design, adoption and adaptation in the service of teaching and learning from a technology stewardship perspective.

Title: Phase change in engineering knowledge production: from an academic to an entrepreneurial contex Authors: Wiiliams, Bill; Figueiredo, José Abstract: This study uses the characterization of contrasting modes of knowledge production to follow the engineering design and research activity of a group of engineers who migrated from an academic environment to a successful startup firm. Semi-structured interviews were used to construct a narrative approach characterizing their activities in the two settings. We relate their practice to Mode 1 and Mode 2 knowledge production phases and note the importance of a phase change in the transition between the two modes.
