Introdução ao Projeto

Base Knowledge

Basic sciences, knowledge of maintenance and technologies in the fields of mechanics, electromechanics and electrical engineering.

Teaching Methodologies

In the first class, the professors involved in teaching the course’s syllabus are presented.
In the second class, the work groups are defined, projects are selected/distributed, and the actions to be developed are planned.
In subsequent classes, the project phases are presented, with the groups completing the design, development, and, in some cases, the physical execution of the project.
Students are supervised by all professors involved in teaching, and each student and work group has a single professor assigned to their project.
Classes take place in project rooms, classrooms, and/or laboratories dedicated to electromechanical maintenance.

Learning Results

» To know the conceptual and methodological aspects of project development;
» To structure and to apply the knowledge acquired throughout the course;
» To stimulate the capacity for analysis, critical thinking and skills in terms of organization, communication and group work;
» To develop and present innovative technological solutions, within the scope of electromechanical maintenance;
» To use appropriate methodologies and computer programs for the development and preparation of projects;
» To promote the entrepreneurial spirit related to electromechanical maintenance;
» Whenever possible, work to introduce the project may be carried out in collaboration with entities outside the school.

Program

Identification, analysis, design, and conceptualization of technical solutions, developed individually or as a team, in a clear and objective manner, involving specific cases of sizing devices, mechanisms, or equipment in the areas of mechanics and electrical engineering, or both. Projects include or focus on the study of electromechanical maintenance technologies and methodologies.
Collection, selection, and analysis of relevant information to support the recommended solutions and the judgments issued.
Integration of technological innovations in the areas of mechanics and electrical engineering, or both.
Project planning and management, identifying the resources necessary for its completion, supported by the following:
• Design concepts and project management;
• Legislation, standards, regulations, building codes, and technical-scientific documentation supporting the project;
• Research, compilation, and processing of collected information;
• Time and resource management;
• Analysis of a project in its various aspects, namely technological and economic.
Preparation of the project report.
