Learning outcomes |
Acquire the knowledge for the integrated design of an electromechanical system, by developing analysis and synthesis capabilities in an undefined and uncertain environment.
Describe the design methodology of electromechanical components and to inter-relate the knowledge acquired on course of the curriculum. Fundamental knowledge of software as an auxiliary design tool. To be able to integrate an electromechanical desing team and to perform, under supervision, components of an electromechanical project in accordance with current standards and normalized procedures. To complement the knowledge on electric machines and mechanical design.
