Projeto Integrador e Competências Transversais I

For an Integrating Project and Transversal Skills I in the Electrical and Computer Engineering course, students must have some basic knowledge in the following areas:

Electrical Circuits: Possess a basic understanding of the principles and analysis of electrical circuits.

Programming: Must have a basic understanding of a programming language, preferably C.

Digital Systems: should have a basic understanding of digital systems principles, including combinational and sequential logic, discrete-time systems, and data encoding.

The teaching method will be based on a Project Based Learning approach.

The student must be able to:

• Search, obtain, compile and summarize scientific and technical information
• Plan the development of a project in phases
• Organize and distribute tasks in a group
• Write a technical report
• Present and defend a proposed solution to the proposed problem
• Apply the knowledge acquired in the development of a technical-scientific project, in order to extend their knowledge to areas not covered in the degree.
• Implement a small prototype based on a microcontroller platform to demonstrate the proposed solution

Presentation and discussion of a generic problem to be solved in the field of Electrical and Computer Engineering applied to Sustainable and Smart Cities.

1. Presentation and discussion of a generic problem to be solved in the field of Electrical and Computer Engineering applied to Sustainable and Smart Cities.
2. Structure and write a technical report, using best practices, including the use of referencing standards
3. Manage the execution time of a project and the work in a team (distribution of tasks and use of team/project management methods)
4. How to plan and implement a project based on rapid development platforms (e.g. Arduino).
5. Planning and practical execution of a project using knowledge from the UCs of the 1st and 2nd semeste

                a) Fundamentals of programming the Arduino plataform

                b) Pratical tests of the prototype

       6. Structure and write a public presentation and deliver the oral presentation
