Projeto Integrador e Competências Transversais I

Base Knowledge

Applied Mathematics, Physics, Electrotechnics and Measurements

Teaching Methodologies

The teaching and learning methodology of the curricular unit is based on the combination of theory and practice, focusing on the
development of both technical and transversal skills.
1. Workshops: These are used to introduce the fundamental concepts of applied mathematics, engineering, and technical systems.
Students acquire the necessary foundations to address complex problems and challenges.
2. Practical Sessions and Laboratories: Focused on the development of integrative projects, where students apply the knowledge they have
gained. During these sessions, they work with software and hardware, simulating real-world scenarios.
3. Collaborative Projects: Students work in groups, applying engineering concepts, solving practical problems, and developing innovative
solutions. Teamwork is emphasized throughout these projects.
4. Continuous Assessment and Feedback: Assessment takes place throughout the course, with continuous feedback allowing students to
adjust their performance and improve their skills.
This approach ensures the integration of theory and practice, promoting active learning, problem-solving in real-world contexts, and the
development of essential skills for engineering.

Grading Methods

Assessment is based on the principles of Project-Based Learning. Each group will be assigned an initial objective, and the work must be developed autonomously until its completion. The final grade will take into account the quality of the written report, the oral presentation, the degree of project completion and, above all, the level of innovation or improvements introduced. An individual assessment of the skills acquired by each group member, as well as their attendance, will also be considered. Assessment is continuous throughout the course, with regular feedback, allowing students to adjust their performance and develop their skills.

Conditions for Passing by Coursework
To pass by coursework, attendance of more than 75% of the classes is mandatory.

Conditions for Access to the Exam
This course is assessed exclusively through coursework.

Special Conditions and Working Students
These are applied in accordance with the specific regulations of ISEC.
