Industrial Maintenance

The basic knowledge is transversal, namely from the fundamental sciences and from some areas of the course’s specialty, in order to allow a comprehensive view of the students for the understanding and application of the broad spectrum of Industrial Maintenance.

The objectives and skills that the student should develop in this Curricular Unit are the following:

• To know how to act in a Maintenance department, namely in the preparation and control of Working Orders, planned and unplanned;
• To know how to dialogue with the various departments of the organization that interact with the maintenance department;
• To Know how to identify the most appropriate condition maintenance solutions, including vibration analysis, according to the nature of each Physical Asset;
• To know how to prepare a table of indicators to support maintenance management and the organization in general;
• To know how to find, on your own initiative, real solutions to the real maintenance problems.

The Assessment has two evaluation methods: Exam (M4); Continuous and Periodic Assessment (M3).
The assessment distributed throughout the contact period eliminates the need to answer questions worth six points in the Final Exam. In this case, the Final Grade (CF) will be calculated as follows:
CF = PE [0-14] + NTT [0-2] + NTTP [0-4]
CF: Final Grade M3
PE: Written Exam
NTT: Grade for assignments completed in Theoretical classes
NTTP: Grade for assignments completed in Practical classes
CF >= 10 points
PE >= 5.6 out of 14 points NTT and NTTP have no minimum grades

The Continuous and Periodic Assessment method requires:
• Minimum attendance of 70% in Theoretical and Theoretical-Practical classes;

• Assignments are evaluated according to the following criteria:
o Quality of content;
o Quality of presentation.

• For evaluation, the questions formulated by the students will be considered, taking into account the following criteria:
o Relevance of the questions;
o Quality of the questions.

The evaluation, exclusively by exam, is in the form of a written test (0-20 points), with a maximum duration of two hours.

Students without formally recognized status, whether through special or equivalent regimes (article 16 of the RA), are automatically evaluated according to the rules of continuous and periodic evaluation (M3). In this case, extraordinary situations, duly justified and communicated to the professors up to 30 days after the start of the semester, will be analyzed individually, considering the work done by the student after that date.

Students may not possess cell phones, so-called smartwatches, glasses with integrated electronic devices, or any other electronic device with memory or that allows communication with the outside world.

The following items are permitted on the table: the exam paper, the answer sheet, the scratch paper provided by the teacher, writing materials (a pencil, a pen, an eraser, a ruler), a water bottle, a small snack (chocolate or biscuits), identification document, a basic calculator or non-programmable scientific models, and a simple watch. The presence of any other object or document on the table will result in the immediate annulment of the exam. Students must ensure that they hand over all prohibited items to the teacher before the start of the exam.

The mere finding of a violation of the above rules will result in the immediate annulment of the written exam, with subsequent notification to a higher authority for disciplinary proceedings for fraud, as well as the non-assignment of a grade for the course unit.

During the resit period, students may choose to waive the continuous and periodic assessment component (NTT and NTTP), in which case they will take an in-person exam worth 20 points.

Students with a grade of 16 or higher will have to take an individual oral exam with a maximum duration of 1 hour (articles 12, 17 and 20 of the RA).

The special session exam is a written, in-person exam, graded out of 20.
