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.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
Theoretical-practical classes of the course unit. Practical classes, with weekly presentation of the projects, followed by a discussion on the different project options decided by the different groups.
Teaching-learning classification (CEA): CEA = (0.2 × NF) + (0.6 × NP) + (0.1 × VD) + (0.1 × CC)
NF – Frequency grade
NP – Project grade (weekly presentations + final report with the project specifications document and project video)
VD – Performance value within the group
CC – Prototype construction
Exam classification (CE):
The examination consists of a written exam (NE), with a level of difficulty comparable to the test held during the teaching-learning period. The grades obtained for the project (NP), individual performance (VD), and prototype construction (CC) components are retained.
CE = (0.2 × NE) + (0.6 × NP) + (0.1 × VD) + (0.1 × CC)
