Base Knowledge

Since one of the objectives of this curricular unit is to complete the knowledge acquired throughout the bachelor’s degree course so that students acquire the ability to apply and interconnect such knowledge, it is essential to master the knowledge of the contents of the structuring curricular unit of the bachelor course, allowing the application of an integrative approach in the design, development and construction of specific industrial equipment.

Teaching Methodologies

Program contents will be academically presented to students, encouraging their reflection on possible solutions for the same technical objective and stimulating scientific debate on the contents in question. Whenever possible, entities/companies will be invited to give lectures/technical seminars on the taught contents, enabling students to contact practical situations and services available on the market. Furthermore, a project report will be prepared encouraging students to carry out bibliographic and market research, allowing them to understand and acquire necessary scientific bases within the scope of the project.

Project themes will be allocated to groups of two students. Exceptionally and in a justified manner, project themes may be allocated individually or to groups of three students. Project themes may be proposed by each group or defined by the teacher.

Learning Results

The curricular unit on Industrial Equipment aims to give students the ability to apply and interconnect knowledge acquired throughout the course, concerning the selection and sizing of different components integrating equipment installed in industries of several sectors of the economy. The objective of this curricular unit is to i) develop and ii) present projects during the academic period. As such, students will be familiarized with the design, development and implementation phases of a project, considering also the economic aspects. This will involve the selection of the most appropriate components and systems for a given equipment. It is also the purpose of this curricular unit that students develop their skills through the acquisition and development of soft skills, such as communication, group work, innovation, creativity, organization and planning, resilience, ability to adapt to new circumstances and contexts, writing and oral presentations.

It is expected that at the end of this curricular unit, students will have acquired several skills such as: i) the capability to identify, analyse and solve problems, ii) the capability to support a given solution among several alternatives; iii) the capability to collect, select and interpret relevant information to support the recommended solutions and judgments issued; iv) the capability to plan activities in space and time, identifying and managing the resources needed to carry them out; v) the capability to integrate recent technological innovations in potential professional areas of intervention; vi) the capability to convey information, ideas, problems and solutions clearly and objectively, vii) the capability to develop teamwork.
