Introdução ao Projeto

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

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.

» 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.

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.

The project will be developed in groups of 1 or 2 students, depending on its size and complexity.
The final project will be prepared and submitted to the Jury in Word format, using Times New Roman font, size 12, and at least 25 pages long. The project will be written in Portuguese, with descriptive text, not including the cover, index, and bibliographical references. It will include a chapter on equipment maintenance related to the project's typology, written in both Portuguese and English. Blank spaces and spaces occupied by figures, as well as the portion of the chapter written in English, are not included in the 25-page count. The bibliography must mention at least 3 books or scientific articles published in journals.
Project progress is monitored through prior review of the preliminary project, which students submit to the course coordinator in digital format using Word. This preliminary project will be discussed orally, using PowerPoint as a presentation tool, in front of two to three faculty members involved in teaching the course, by November 14, 2025.
The final project must be submitted by the start date of the first-semester exam appeal period, and the presentation/discussion will be written in PowerPoint format, with at least 20 slides.
The course evaluation is based on:
a) The Jury's review of the final report.
b) The project's oral presentation and discussion, in public, before a panel of two to three faculty members involved in teaching, chaired by the course coordinator. This evaluation will take place by the end of the first-semester exam appeal period.
Student presentations should not exceed 25 minutes, and the total final project evaluation time should not exceed 60 minutes.
Only one presentation/discussion may be given per group. Failure by one or more group members to attend the presentation/discussion without an emailed justification within two business days of the scheduled evaluation date, with original supporting documents submitted the following day, will result in the student failing the course. The justification may not be accepted by the Jury Chair.
The final grade, on a scale of 0 to 20 points, is the result of a vote among the Jury members and corresponds to the proposed grade with the highest number of votes. In the event of a tie, the Jury Chair will have the deciding vote.
The final grade for students in groups is individual, based on their performance in the presentation and discussion.
The project must be completed primarily during class and continued during non-contact hours.
Submission of the report after the initial deadline (after the first semester appeal period has begun) will result in a 10% penalty. Submitting the report after the appeal period ends will result in the student failing the exam.
Within 24 hours of the assessment, each group will submit a printed copy of the report to the Jury President, as well as a CD/DVD/USB flash drive/cloud drive containing the report and the project presentation in digital format for archiving.
