Project

Basic sciences, technologies in the field of mechanics, electromechanics and electrotechnics and also a high level of knowledge of Internal Combustion Engines and Vehicle Systems and Components.

In the first class, the syllabus of the course are presented by the teachers involved in the teaching.
In the second class, work groups are defined, projects are chosen / distributed and actions are planned.
In the following classes, the project phases are presented, with the groups proceeding to carry out the design, development work and, in some cases, the physical execution of the project.
Students receive tutorial guidance from all teachers involved in the teaching and each work group has assigned only one teacher responsible for their project.
Classes take place in the project room, in classrooms and / or in laboratories related to automotive technology.

Knowledge of the conceptual and methodological aspects of project design, development and management; Structure and apply the knowledge acquired during the course and the good practices known in the professional context; Structure the concepts of project management in order to stimulate the students’ analytical capacity and critical spirit, as well as their skills in terms of organization, communication and group work, focusing on the business model of organizations; Designing a technical solution that fits within the scope of automotive technology and management; Use methods, techniques, methodologies and computer tools for planning and controlling project activities; Structure costs, control the performance and risks of a project; Apply the concepts of quality in the context of project management; Whenever possible, project work is carried out in collaboration with companies or other entities outside the school.

• Identification, analysis and problem solving.
• In a concrete and constructive way, it involves the construction, grounding and argumentation of team solutions in a clear and objective way, involving, in concrete cases, the dimensioning of devices, mechanisms, equipment or systems of an engine or a vehicle, or the study of maintenance methodologies, repair, office management, job preparation, implementation of changes in organizations or creation of value alternatives for companies in the automotive sector;
• Identification, collection, selection, analysis and interpretation of information relevant to the recommended solutions and to the judgments issued;
Integration of recent technological innovations in the area of automotive technology and management;
• Planning and management of project activities, through the identification of the resources needed to achieve them, using the following analysis sequence:
    1-Concepts of project and project management;
    2-Life cycle of a project;
    3-Legislation, norms, regulations, building codes and documentation supporting the project;
    4-Research, compilation and processing of data;
    5-Management in space and time, resources, costs and dependencies;
    6-Design analysis;
    7-Fashion and design in the design;
    8-Version control;
    9-Prototypes and tests.
• Preparation of the project report and promotion of the valuation of the construction of the same.
