Teaching Methodologies
Theoretical teaching is exposed and demonstrated with theoretical-practical problems solved in the classroom. Laboratory work is carried
out in groups of students who work together and guided by the teacher.
Work/projects are carried out with an average duration of 3 weeks (6 contact hours), with a final presentation of results and justification of
the methodologies and techniques used.
A final project is also prepared, with greater complexity, in relation to the work that takes place weekly. This work is evaluated in a final
project discussion, in a group, in the last week of classes.
The quotation for the laboratory component is the majority in relation to the theoretical component and the preparation of weekly
assignments and the final project is mandatory. There are two assessment periods separated by 3 to 4 weeks for the theoretical component
exams.
Learning Results
Familiarize students with the knowledge and practices of pneumatics, automation and robotics. Develop knowledge and understanding in
the fields of pneumatics, automation and robotics. Provide students with the ability to design, execute and maintain automatic systems with
simple pneumatic and electronic elements. Enable students to understand the interfaces between sensors, actuators, automatons and robot
systems. Provide students with the ability to design, execute and maintain automatic systems.
Provide the student with the ability to apply the knowledge acquired in solving specific problems, supported by argumentation and own
actions, seeking to achieve continuous improvement. Provide students with the ability to work in groups, developing interpersonal
relationships.
