The Applied Mechanics studies the behavior of structural elements. So the principal goal of
this curricular unit is that the students acquire knowledge enabling to understand the behavior
of these elements used in an industrial environment, with particular emphasis on the areas of
mechanical.
Skills: The student should be able to understand which conditions of use and the stresses to
which the structural elements are subject, as well as determining the material more
convenient shape and dimensions better suited to withstand various types of external stresses
applied to machines, parts, parts of structures, etc ... at the lowest possible cost and adequate
security.

The theoretical lectures are taught using power-point slides. In the tutorial classes the
problems proposed are realistic involving daily situations and engineering problems. Until the
third week the students must decide for the system of continuous assessment or examination.
In the latter case the student is assessed by examination at the normal exam or resource
exam. If the student opting for the scheme of continuous assessment this will be done by
performing a series of three tests, which should have at least 7 out of 20 values on each test to
obtain approval in the discipline.

tend to promote the active participation of students, by asking and answering questions about
the topics being exposed.In practical classes, the knowledge acquired in lectures is applied by
solving proposed worksheets.The evaluation consists of a theoretical exam (given in the
respective periods or in phases during the semester), a tutorial on a theme related to
Information Technologies proposed by the Professor, a presentation on which the
communication techniques learned are applyied and a practical test on the computer lab on
MS Excel. Specifically:- The theoretical component worth 7 values of the final grade (35%);-The
tutorial worth 2 values (10%); -The presentation 4 values (20%); -The practical test worth 7
values of the final grade (35%). These values (excepting the exam) are distributed along a

Presential learning. In lectures is made a theoretical exposition of each issue and solved an
application exercise.
In practical classes is presented a set of exercises that students should try to solve during the
class, in groups or alone, and that involves the application of the themes already discussed in
the lectures. In practical classes the resolution of these exercises is presented at the white
board. The assessment may be done in two ways:
AD:- Frequency 1, (50%); - Frequency 2, (50%); - The realization of frequency 1 does not
require the student to perform frequency 2; - The final result is given by the sum of the scores
of frequencies 1 and 2. AF:- Final written exam, to take place in regular and/or appeal season
(100%).

The concepts are presented in an expository manner, using clear examples and encouraging
reflection and discussion. Students are asked to intervene in the interpretation of economic
information in order to consolidate, integrate and relate the various concepts. Throughout the
classes the theoretical concepts are sometimes applied in solving practical exercises. Grading is
based on a written exam with both theoretical and practical problem solving.

As main objectives it is required the students to learn the basic knowledge of chemistry, in
order to be able to apply the knowledge acquired in solving specific problems. It is important
that at the end of the semester the student has developed personal skills that enable them
autonomous learning in the future.
The syllabus contents of Chemistry allow the students to apply their knowledge in a lab,
because the learning involved the study, calculations and critical results in important matters
as the mass relationships in chemical reactions, preparation of solutions, the various types of
reactions, the chemical balance, etc.. Such as mathematics and physics, chemistry is a
fundamental science for the study and understanding the subjects of other disciplines, and
also for the students' professional life, especially in areas that oblige them to develop and
enhance their knowledge in chemistry.

To pass at Chemistry I the student must have a minimum score of 10 points in final exam.
Notes: 1st – in the final exam several alternative responses are given for each problem, and
only one is true; the student must put a cross in the respective box, the answer he considers
correct, or, if in doubt, he doesn’t not answer ( read 2nd grade); it is not permitted to mark
more than one answer; 2nd - to mark a wrong answer it is equivalent to the student be
penalized 30 % of the value of the problem. For example, if a problem is tipped to one value
and the student missed the answer will be penalized -0.3 values.

The lectures are expository but tend to promote the active participation of students, either by
asking questions, either through the resolution of exercises involving the application of the
topics being exposed.In In tutorial classes the knowledge acquired in lectures is applied by
resolution of practical exercises. The assessment has two components: final exam - 17 points
(required a minimum of 35%); practical work - 3 points (required a minimum of 30%). It is
necessary an individual study of students out of class (for better monitoring of lessons).

obligation to obtain a minimum score of 7,5 points on each test. The final mark is the average
of 2 tests. If approval is not obtained in the tests, can perform the final exams.

The student can gain leverage according to the following criteria :Criterion 1 - Continuous
evaluation of the resulting individual work or inserted in groups of 2 students resulting from :
a) ongoing assessment with a weighting of 30 % . b) Classification of the work of the final
group , with a weighting of 70 % .Criterion 2 - Final Exam . The examination will consist of a
theoretical part and a theoretical and practical component and each of the two components
will have a weighting of 50 % ( 10 marks) .Criterion 3 - Students who have opted for
continuous assessment , but do not be guaranteed use for the course for lack of attendance,
be admitted to the examination under Criterion 2 . In this case the final classification result of
the delivery of an individual or in a group work, with a 40% weighting and the mark of the
examination with a weighting of 60 % .

assessment:
Theoretical lectures serve to introduce the concepts, models and procedures of operations
planning, with powerpoint support. Some procedures are exemplified using demonstrative
methodology. Tutorial classes are used to adress, analise and solve problems applying the
studied concepts and models, with MsExcel.
The evaluation involves two written tests during the semester or a final exam.
