Teaching language
Portuguese and englishObjectives
1. Identify current trends in advanced instrumentation.
2. Describe the scope of development and applications of instrumentation projects (IP) to: a) the industry; b) research organizations; c) large international infrastructures.
3. Understand and be able to contribute to the development stages of an IP: a) conceptual design; b) preliminary and final designs; c) assembly, integration, and testing; d) operation.
4. Develop an overall view of IP, including a) objectives; b) specifications; c) operation, calibration, and maintenance; d) system architecture and design, including subsystems and instrument "error budget"; e) interfaces; f) architecture of optical, mechanical, electronic, and computational systems; g) data analysis, including extraction algorithms and quality control ; h) safety analysis and risk assessment; i) management plan, time planning, budget planning, product trees e traceability matrices.
5. Explain the rationale of a PI subsystem.
5. Explain the rationale of a PI subsystem.
Learning outcomes and competences
Learning outcomes of this course unit are intended for the student to be able to describe development contexts and applications of instrumentation projects (IP), contribute to the stages of development of an IP, develop the different components of an IP in a way. and explain the 'rational' of a subsystem of an IP.Working method
PresencialProgram
The syllabus is divided in five blocks:
1. Instrumentation seminars: a) virtual instruments; b) new transductors and intelligent transductors; c) realtime processing; d) bidirectional telemetry; e) transductor networks.
2. Systems engineering for instrumentation projects; a) Generic lifecycle stages; b) technical processes; c) project processes; d) enterprise and agreement processes; e) systems engineering process activities; f) system engineering support activities. This block essentially follows INCOSE v3.0.
3. Instrumentation projects in international organizations of research infrastructures: a) CERN; b) ESA; C) ESO; d) ESRF; ITER.
4. Procurement practices in international organizations of research infrastructures.
5. Instrumentation topics (specific to each student’s project).

Items 1 and 2: to be delivered in seminar classes by the UC’s teaching staff.Items 3 and 4: to be delivered in seminar classes by invited speakers from the international organizations and the FCT’s (Foundation for Science and Technology) Industrial Liaison Officer. In special cases, like ITER, visits to the Lisbon-based
IPFN (Institute for Plasma Research and Nuclear Fusion) will take place within FEUP-IST agreement.
Item 5 to be individually delivered in tutorial guidance sessions within the scope of each student’s project.
