with subjects.
2. Practical and laboratory teaching: Realization of research works corresponding to the resolution of problems of materials
recycling.
3. Tutorial: Personal coaching sessions in small groups to conduct the learning process and clarify any doubts
Autonomous:
1. Estudo: Leitura de excertos de bibliografia recomendada para a unidade curricular. Resolução dos casos práticos/exercícios
recomendados para a unidade curricular.
2. E-aprendizagem: Consulta de material relativo à unidade curricular.
Specific Resources:
Theoretical and Practical Teaching: classroom
Practical and Laboratorial Teaching: classroom Materials Laboratory, Mechanical Technology Laboratory, Rapid Prototyping
Laboratory
Tutorial: office, classroom or e-learning platform
Evaluation:
Description:
The methods of assessment of knowledge and competences are:
• Continuous assessment:
Written test (WT) in the final of the semester (minimum 8)
Group work (GW)* throughout the semester
* Evaluation of the progression of the work throughout the semester (20% of GW) + work report evaluation (60% of GW) +
evaluation of the oral presentation and defence of the work (20% GW)
Grade (G): 0.4 WT + 0.6 GW 9.5
• Final Assessment:
Written test (WT) - minimum 8 marks
Group work (GW)*
* Work report evaluation (80% of GW) + evaluation of the oral presentation and defence of the work (20% of GW)
Grade (G): 0.4 WT + 0.6 GW 9.5
Or, written exam (100%) 9.5
The Final Grade of the curricular unit includes the grade of a Product Conception and Development Transversal Project (PCDP)
realised throughout the year:
Final Grade: 0,30 G + 0,70 PCDP 9.5
Number of elements in the final evaluation:
3 OU 2
Number of elements for continuous evaluation:
3
