Industrial Equipments

Basic Sciences of Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Maintenance, Automation.

The presentation of the contents is essentially carried out during the theoretical classes, using as main support the projection of slides. In the classes, student participation is often raised through the formulation of questions that lead them to reflect on the different subjects discussed and create opportunities for clarification of doubts. In the theoretical-practical classes, application problems will be performed, allowing students to get in touch with practical questions and a critical analysis of the results obtained. some of the theoretical-practical classes will be used to carry out research work in order to prepare the individual work report.

The objective of this course is to provide students with knowledge about the equipment installed in the various sectors of the industry. The student should get knowledge in order to know how to select equipment in the various areas covered in the discipline.
