Learning outcomes This CU Introduction to Industrial Project aims to initiate the activity of industrial project engineer. In this CU, more specifically, an introduction to project methodologies will be made, with a work that involves the development of project practices applied to a specific industrial product, simulating possible situations in industrial practice. In this way, the aim is to develop the ability to integrate the acquired skills and put them at the service of the creation of an industrial project. The scope of the problem encompasses the organization of the production process, its technological and computer implementation, the architecture of the production planning and control systems, including databases and algorithms, as well as the detail of the industrial installation. The work will serve as a showcase of the skills acquired by the student during the 1st cycle in EGI and of their appetite for their harmonious and fruitful conciliation.
Syllabus Product description; Technical specifications and product tree; Analysis of the production process; Industrial equipment; Material flow analysis; Layout and implementation study; Quality parameters and technical data of the product and process; Business model and order book; Stock control model; Database structure; Production control model; Cost estimation; Integrated production and industrial planning model.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria In practical theoretical classes, knowledge will be transmitted through the development of a project encouraging students to actively participate. The development of the industrial project will be carried out in groups and will be monitored during classes. Assessment is continuous and will be carried out through 5 periodic presentations, delivery and presentation of the final project. Each of these assessment elements will have a weight of 50% in the final grade.

Language Portuguese. Tutorial support is available in English.
