Objectives

Objectives: This course aims at providing students with the fundamental concepts, both theoretical and practical, to analyse manufacturing processes related to plastic conformation technologies and machining technologies and how to use these concepts in order to develop products and tools.

Learning outcomes and competences

By the end of the semester, students should: (1) be familiar with the fundamental characteristics of manufacturing processes, their capabilities and limitations, as well as their applicability to create a product; (2) be familiar with machine-tools: how to operate them, their components, and their different types; (3) be familiar with the tools used in each process, how to operate them and their main components; (4) be capable of defining processes related to the production of different components/ products and corresponding stages of production.

Teaching methods and learning activities

Presentation of the fundamental principles of the technological processes; applications and study of components. Solution of problems; case studies; presentation of technological videos; visits to the workshop and other laboratories to see demonstrations of the processes.

METAL FORMING and MACHINING modules will function in a parallel way, having 1.5 hours per weak each.

Eligibility for exams

According to Article 4 of General Evaluation Rules of FEUP

Calculation formula of final grade

 

FM = A*0.7 + B*0.3
FM: Final Mark
A: Average grade of the two written tests;
B: Assignment grade;

Each written test consist of two equally weighted parts including PLASTIC FORMING and MACHINING.

The group work will be mandatory and it includes written report, oral presentation and discussion. 

The recovering test can be partial (1st or 2nd test topics) or total and its classification prevails if it is higher than the previously obtained.

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

An exam based on all the themes that have been taught.

An individual assignment with a written report and oral presentation about a topic chosen by the professors.

FM= A*0.7 + B*0.3

FM: Final Mark

• Grade of the global exam
• Grade of the assignment

For students with a positive mark in the group assignment, in the present or in the last academic year, this mark will be used for B, with no need of a new assignment.

Classification improvement

An exam based on the themes that have been taught is foreseen, but following the same procedure of the recovering exams (1^st part,  2^nd part  or total).
