Sustainable Development Goals
Learning Goals
In this discipline it is required that the content of Materials Science be solid.
The purpose of the unit is to introduce computational and experimental methods associated with the manufacture of mechatronic components. The symbiosis between manufacturing processes, experimental and computational analysis allows students to have a balanced perspective on Mechanical Technology.
Students will understand the machining processes, CNC programming and CAM software.
Students will get to know the machining, CAE and casting software.
For polymers, students will become familiar with injection molding, rotomoulding, blow molding and composite construction software.

Continuous Evaluation
NF | Test (0.50)
TP | 5 individual exercises (0.25)
NT | Thematic work with report (0.25)
Final classification | Continuous Evaluation N=(0.5*(NF) + 0.25*TP + 0.25*NT)
Test has a minimum classification requirement of 8 values.
Student is approved if a final classification of 10 values or more is achieved.
Final Evaluation
E1 Exam
E2 Exam
Final Classification | Final Evaluation N=Max(E1,E2)
All elements are marked in the range [0, 20]. For exam dates, there is the option of the final exam only. To graduate from this curricular unit the student must have a final grade of 10 values or more is achieved.
