Industrial Control

NA

The following teaching methodologies are used in this curricular unit:

1       – Expository method: a telling method were facts, concepts, principles and generalizations are defined andpresented by the teacher and discussed with the class, followed by demonstrative examples;

– Experimental method: an active method were the student develops the knowledge through the use of problemsolving and project development approaches, in group dynamics and individual reflective work.

The discipline of Industrial Control is presented in an Industrial Automation perspective, with the aim of introducing the analysis and design of industrial control systems, in an applied manner. Emphasis is placed on the practical realization of the subjects covered, namely by the use of programmable automata applied to industrial systems (carrying out practical work). After this course, it is intended that students are prepared to start an industrial activity in the area, establish a dialogue with specialists, and be able to operate and maintain automatic industrial equipment.
