Manutenção Elétrica e Eletrónica

Mathematics, Electricity and Electrical Measurements, Fundamentals of Electrical Installations

The pedagogical model focuses on practical and experimental learning, prioritising direct contact with laboratory equipment (multimeters, oscilloscopes, network analysers, among others). The laboratory sessions concentrate on carrying out practical work, covering workspace preparation, component handling, and the resolution of real maintenance problems.

The theoretical and theoretical-practical components support the laboratory activities, providing the foundations for performing tests, using computational tools, and complying with technical standards. This integration aims to consolidate operational skills and promote rigour, autonomy, and safety in a professional context.

Prepare the laboratory space properly for carrying out maintenance interventions;

Handle and operate electrical and electronic components correctly, as well as use calibration, adjustment, and measurement equipment;

Adopt environmentally responsible attitudes appropriate to each maintenance intervention;

Use, repair, and test electrical and electronic equipment within the scope of maintenance interventions.

1-Electrical tests:
Use of digital multimeters, portable oscilloscopes, clamp meters, and earth testers; verification and certification of electrical installations; power quality analysis.

2-Battery inspection and maintenance.

3-Acoustic and thermal imaging:
Thermography, use of leak detectors, and temperature measurement.

4-Network cable verification and testing.

5-Performance and safety testing of photovoltaic systems.

6-Calibration of processes and equipment.

Assessment is continuous, takes place throughout the semester, and is composed of three components: 

1. Laboratory Component (L)

Assessment is based on group laboratory work, individual and collective performance, and attendance, with mandatory attendance of at least 75% of the classes. This component carries a weight of 40% of the final grade, and passing this component is mandatory.

2. Theoretical Component (T)

The theoretical assessment is based on two theoretical tests. This component carries a weight of 30% of the final grade.

3. Theoretical–Practical Component (TP)

Assessment is based on two theoretical–practical tests. This component carries a weight of 30% of the final grade.

Final Grade

Final Grade = L + T + TP

Conditions for Passing by Continuous Assessment

To pass by continuous assessment, it is mandatory to obtain the minimum required grade in all three components.
Failure to meet the minimum in any component results in non-approval, and in such cases the final grade cannot exceed 9 values.

Conditions for Access to the Final Exam

Access to the final exam requires: Minimum attendance of 50% of the total number of classes; Approval in the Laboratory Component.

Exceptional Conditions and Working Students

These are governed by the specific regulations of the CTeSP programmes and ISEC
