Descrição
Resumo:The Universidad Politécnica de Valencia (Spain) sponsors a M.Sc. program based on a model (named MAC2), which maps managerial competencies in construction. This program implements dynamic methodologies of teaching and learning; the most singular one is the use of a common project as a case study, which is used as a reference throughout the Master program. Guided interviews with professors and questionnaires to students are used to test the effectiveness and acceptance of this approach. The results confirm not only the success of the methodology, but also corroborate the use of the MAC 2 model as a tool for syllabus design. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
