Desenvolvimento de materiais didáticos para estudantes de Engenharia: um estudo de caso sobre a simulação do desempenho de edifícios

Write a book for teaching computational tools to students and professionals in the area of Engineering can be a hard work for those interested in doing so. Plus, beyond the complexity of the subject itself and the didactics required for the book, are rare scientific productions availablein literature that cover the modes of development of books for educational purposes. Therefore, to meet the need to offer support to potential authors, this article presents the steps that led to theelaboration of a didactic book, involving the step by step for the guide development, theteaching-learning strategies applied, and the process of catalog record and publication of thebook. For this purpose, we present, as a case of study, a guide developed for teaching simulationof building performance. With this study, we pretend to provide the future authors a detailedmethod for the development of academic books, focusing on teachers linked to Engineering courses, where research and publications in this sense are rare.
