Objectives
It is intended that the student acquires
Teaching methodologies and assessment
The methods of teaching and learning will be based on work done in class, in study and research / consultation by the student of literature. During the theoretical sessions, the teacher will make a presentation and discussion of the syllabus, with application of acquired knowledge to concrete situations presented. In practical sessions, students will be involved in the development of small automation projects using PLCs and solving exercises or problems proposed and they will be asked to perform work outside the hall. At times, it will require the student, individually or in groups, exposure and oral defense of their work. The assessment will be of the continuous type with final exam, consisting of this work developed out of class, participation during class and a written exam. The weight of each evaluation moment in the final grade will be 45% the exam, 25% the participation in the classes and 30% the work.
