Syllabus
Syllabus
The course deals with the principles of engineering. It includes the following topics: 1. Technical drawings using computer aided methods for the design of sustainable products. 2. DIN and other engineering standards, design, and tolerance. 3. Forces and moments in the plane. 4. Free body and balance of forces and moments. 5. Loads, support reactions and internal forces. 6. Normal and shear stresses, stress-strain ratio and Hook´s Law, strength, and material properties

Objectives
Objectives
It is the goal of the course to learn the principles of Engineering. At the end of the course, students should be able to: a) Understand and customize technical drawings. b) Know the basic contents of technical descriptions. c) Know the terms strength and moment. d) Understand the free body diagram. e) Determine supportive reactions and internal forces through equilibrium conditions. f) Determine one-dimensional and planar stresses and their relationship with deformations.

Teaching methodologies
Teaching methodologies
The course comprises theoretical sessions based on PowerPoint presentations and other audiovisual methods, where the main principles of engineering are presented, complemented by concrete examples/problems. The CU also has a theoretical-practical component with the resolution of exercises and case studies where students apply and develop some of the theoretical concepts

Assessment
Assessment
Avaliação contínua realizada ao longo do semestre na forma de 2 frequências (sem nota mínima exigida) ou uma Frequência global final. Aproveitamento na componente teórica de avaliação contínua se, na média das duas frequências, o aluno obtiver uma nota igual ou superior a 9,5 valores. Caso reprovar irá a exame de recurso.
Aproveitamento na disciplina se, no exame escrito teórico (final frequência ou exame), obtiver uma nota igual ou superior a 9,5 valores. Nota final: a media ponderada da nota teórica (80%) com a nota Teorico-prática (20%, documento escrito 40%+discussão 60%) que deverá ser igual ou superior a 9,5 valores.
Continuous assessment carried out throughout the semester in the form of two tests (no minimum grade required) or a final overall test. Passing grade in the theoretical component of continuous assessment if, on average, the student obtains a grade equal to or higher than 9.5 in the two tests. If the student fails, they will take a resit exam.
Passing grade in the course if, in the written theoretical exam (final test or exam), the student obtains a grade equal to or higher than 9.5. Final grade: the weighted average of the theoretical grade (80%) and the theoretical-practical grade (20%, written document 40% + discussion 60%), which must be equal to or higher than 9.5
