Industrial Maintenance

Base Knowledge

The main knowledge is transversal, namely the fundamental sciences and some areas of the specialty of the course, in order to allow students to have an enlarged view of the subjects to understand and apply the broad spectrum of Industrial Maintenance.

Teaching Methodologies

The teaching methodology is based on the following aspects:

– Presentation of the subjects by the teacher;

– Study visits;

– Lectures by professionals from the industry;

– Discussion and analysis of exercises and case studies.

Learning Results

The objectives and skills that the student should develop in this Curricular Unit are the following:

  • To know how to act in a Maintenance department, namely in the preparation and control of Working Orders, planned and unplanned;
  • To know how to dialogue with the various departments of the organization that interact with the maintenance department;
  • To Know how to identify the most appropriate condition maintenance solutions, including vibration analysis, according to the nature of each Physical Asset;
  • To know how to prepare a table of indicators to support maintenance management and the organization in general;
  • To know how to find, on your own initiative, real solutions to the real maintenance problems.
