Projeto

Basic curricular units, necessary for the application of an integrative approach.

Students must work in groups of two members. Particularly, the work can be carried out individually or in groups of three students if the situation warrants it and after analysis by teachers. The formation of groups and assignment of work topics will be done by the assignment regulations available on the Nónio platform.

Each group will be accompanied and guided by a teacher from the curricular unit. Taking into account the more or less comprehensive nature of the UC, in terms of engineering areas, students may be guided by more than one UC professor, with there always being one person in charge.

Groups should preferably use classes to carry out their projects and analyse and discuss problems with teachers. Teachers will be able to use some classes to present topics familiar to the various groups, such as, for example, the methodology for preparing the project, the structure of the report, rules and regulations, and manipulation of calculation tools, among others.

Students are encouraged to carry out bibliographical research that allows them to discover and acquire the necessary scientific knowledge within the scope of the work to be developed and substantiate it.

The project curricular unit aims to develop students’ ability to apply the knowledge acquired throughout the course. It also seeks to stimulate students’ ability to analyze and be critical and their organizational, communication and group work skills.

This curricular unit contributes to obtaining the following skills:

Know how to apply the knowledge and understanding acquired; Have the ability to identify, analyze and solve problems, as well as to construct and substantiate the argument for the proposed solution; Have the ability to collect, select and interpret relevant information to support recommended solutions and judgments issued; Have the ability to plan activities in space and time, identifying and managing the resources necessary for their implementation; Have the ability to integrate recent technological innovations into your area of professional intervention; Have the ability to transmit information, ideas, problems and solutions, clearly and objectively; Have the ability to develop teamwork.

Elaboration of a project work, privileging themes that encompass several areas of Mechanical Engineering and correspond to specific cases, involving the study, calculation and dimensioning of devices, mechanisms, equipment, mechanical systems or installations. Students are familiarized with the design, development and implementation phases of a project, also taking into account its economic cost.
