Sustainable Development Goals
Learning Goals
The students will have the ability to independently develop, under tutorial orientation, an engineering project - conception / implementation, in the domains of Mechanical Engineering / Electrical Engineering / Mechatronics Engineering. A final project documentation will be produced with the respective descriptive memory, explaining the adopted technical solutions, and an operating instructions manual concerned the developed practical implementations.
Contents
1) Presentation of the main phases of the Project of a new industrial product: Economic viability study, Product development, Process development, Production, Quality assurance. Main industrial Tools for each phase requirements of the Project of a new Product.
2) Ethics and professional deontology. The Engineering in the service of safety, health and public welfare.
3) The scope of Projects in Mechanical Engineering, Electrotechnical Engineering (Electronics and Instrumentation) and Mechatronics Engineering (Automation and Automatic Control).
4) Mechanical Design. Example of International Codes for Mechanical Design (lifting devices, pressurized tanks, ...).
5) The Electronic and Instrumentation Design. Example of Design Softwares (Mentor Graphics, LabView, ...).
6) Automation and Control Design. The mechanical system and the control system. Design Software in Automatic Control (MatLab). Programmed Automation Technologies. Design and implementation with the Siemens Simatic architecture

Teaching Methods
The teaching method is based on theoretic/practice lessons and tutorial guidance, specific in the scope of Projects under development. It is stimulated an active learning process where the student is motivated to search deeper the several subjects needed for the success of his Project.
The evaluation consists of 1 Final Project, with report - descriptive memory + operation manual referred to practical implementations - with oral presentation:
PF = Final Project in the scope of Eng. Mechanics / Eng. Electrotechnical / Eng. Mechatronics
The final grade is obtained by: 1.0xPF
