Objectives

Introduction to project methodologies. The importance of the project for the Life Cycle of mechanical systems. The different phases of the project and its importance. geDesign of electromechanical systems, involving the calculation of mechanical transmissions, mechanical speed reducers and gearboxes with the calculation of the kinematic chain, structural calculation of driveshafts and selection of other mechanical elements such as bearings, seals, etc., as well as the drive and control subsystems.
Other small projects with the selection and calculation of mechanical elements.

Learning outcomes and competences

The discipline of Project Initiation is intended to commence the activity of the students as project engineers. It is intended primarily to make an introduction to design methodologies, with doing a project that involves the development of practical design, simulate possible situations in industrial practice, which is achieved through the guidance of work by invited lecturers with extensive professional experience and among the most respected in the industry.
With this it is possible that students acquire skills in the area of personal and professional skills, identification and formulation of problems, finding solutions thereof, experimentation and knowledge discovery, thinking about systems, improvement of personal skills and attitudes towards new problems and ethical analysis in solving them, improving inter personal skills and communication with the presentation of a final report of the study design, project implementation of the systems developed in simulated industrial environment.

Eligibility for exams

Students will be subjected to continuous assessment (AC) and realization of a project embodied in a technical design, supported by a report, to be discussed at the end of the semester (RDF).

Students should have a positive assessment in the assessment of AC, in order to present the RDF. The component  RDF will also be classified with a grade greater than or equal to 10 to pass the student at UC.

The results of the evaluation AC should be communicated to students until December 11, 2015 and RDF (if admitted to the second stage) to be presented to the course diretor till December 11, 2015.

Calculation formula of final grade

If AC > 10 and RDF > 10, the final score is:

 AC / 2 + RDF / 2

It is considered for all assessments range 0 to 20.
