Automação Industrial

Digital systems.

In the theoretical classes, the expository method predominates, complemented by the resolution and analysis of examples.

Laboratory classes allow the consolidation of theoretical knowledge acquired throughout the semester through guided resolution and analysis of the results of the proposed exercises, as well as a set of guiding and structuring works.

Design, execute and maintain industrial automation systems. Program automatons and industrial electrical and pneumatic equipment. Ability to propose technical solutions to the employer or client. Ability to choose technical solutions and their arguments to the employer or customer in the scope of automation. Ensure smooth operation and also maintain robotic systems. Apply and program simple vision systems. Develop supervisory systems using HMI systems.

The final assessment consists of a practical component and a theoretical component.
Theoretical component: The evaluation consists of a written test in which the student must obtain a minimum grade of 40%.

Laboratory component:
The assessment consists of two tests and a set of laboratory works, preferably with weekly frequency and a final project.

The laboratory evaluation also consists of a continuous evaluation component.

The weights of each component are as follows: laboratory work - 30%; continuous assessment - 15%; tests - 30% (test 1 is quoted for 10% and test 2 for 20%); final project 10%. The evaluation of the laboratory component has a minimum of 40% for admission to examination.
The final grade is obtained with a component of 25% of the theoretical exam and 75% of the laboratory evaluation and must reach a minimum total of 9.5 points.

Both assessment components may be subject to a complementary component to be carried out individually and orally.
