Teaching methodologies
Teaching methodologies
As it is a multidisciplinary area with diverse and varied concepts, it is important to complement these concepts with concrete application examples. The practical assessment classes will allow students to deepen some of the concepts presented, namely, the implementation and use of transducers, the use of programmable PLCs in the design of automation, the programming of manipulators and the potential of remote control.

Assessment
Assessment
A avaliação teórica de conhecimentos consiste num frequência final, que contribuirá com 60% da nota final. Os 40% restantes resultam da média das notas dos trabalhos, cuja entrega é obrigatória.
As médias das frequências e dos trabalhos não pode ser inferior a 10 valores. A avaliação final está ainda sujeita a uma Prova Oral.
Os trabalhos principais de Laboratório são:- LAB1 - Montagem de um transdutor ultrassónico. Análise do comportamento do transdutor. Determinação das principais características de funcionamento do transdutor.
- LAB2 - Trabalho sobre Autómatos Programáveis baseado no sistema de empacotamento e de desempacotamento existente no laboratório. Construção do Grafcet do sistema e programação do mesmo no autómato programável.
The theoretical knowledge assessment consists of a final test, which will contribute 60% of the final grade. The remaining 40% comes from the average grade of the assignments, which are mandatory.
Frequency and work averages cannot be less than 10 points. The final assessment is also subject to an Oral Test.
The main laboratory work is:- LAB1 - Mounting an ultrasonic transducer. Analysis of transducer behavior. Determination of the main operating characteristics of the transducer.
- LAB2 - Work on Programmable Automata based on the existing packing and unpacking system in the laboratory. Construction of the system's Grafcet and programming it in the programmable automaton.
