Automation and Instrumentation

Electric circuits

– Lectures with projection of theoretical slides on different subjects; – Laboratorial classroom lessons with resolution of different exercises/real problems. Attendance mandatory of laboratorial lessons 75%; – Presentation of a research work (10% da avaliação – week 13); – Laboratory work distribution: work 1 – week 3, work 2 – week 4, work 3 – week 6, work 4 – week 10, work 5 – week 12, work 6 – week 14; Laboratory work in group during laboratorial lessons (50% of the evaluation); – Final written exam (40% of the evaluation).

Familiarize students with the field of automation and instrumentation, particularly with measurement instruments, automatic systems and industrial sensors. Develop knowledge and understanding capacity to solve problems in the fields of industrial instrumentation and automation; Provide the student’s ability to apply the acquired knowledge in solving specific problems, supported by argument, seeking their continuous improvement; Endow the student’s ability to work in groups, developing interpersonal relationships.
