Objectives
the Electromechanical Course, through the main methods of the application of electrical machines in electric power systems, has as learning outcomes (CDIO):
- 1.2; 1.3 - nuclear and advanced knowledge of Engineering
- 2.3 - systemic thinking
- 3.1 - efficient group work
- 4.3; 4.4; 4.5; 4.6 - system engineering; conception, project; implementation; operation
Program
Sustainable Electromechanical Systems; Electromechanical Systems for the Electrical Energy Production (synchronous machines; induction machines; variable reluctance machines; commutator machines; permanent magnet machines — performance, selection and application); Electromechanical Systems Maintenance; Electronic-mechanical Systems.
At the recitation classes are made experimental laboratory works on the performance and test of different kinds of electrical machines.

Eligibility for exams
Students have to do the laboratory assignments (group assignment)
It assesses the following skills: Understanding and Application (15%) Analysis and Assessment (15%)
Students have to reach a minimum mark of 50% in each if the written tests
They assess the following skills: Knowledge (40%), Understanding(20%) and Application (10%)
Calculation formula of final grade
Final Mark = 30%(LabWork) + ((35% Test 1) + (35% Test 2))
Examinations or Special Assignments
Two tests
