Objetivos

This course aims to provide students with theoretical and practical knowledge about the operation, constitution and repair of Internal Combustion Engines (ICE) and their different organs and systems, through the theoretical knowledge transmitted and direct contact with the equipment and constituent parts . It is also intended that students know and be able to follow the technological evolutions related to Internal Combustion Engines. On the other hand, it is intended that the review of theoretical knowledge acquired by the student in other subjects throughout the course is carried out gradually, using this knowledge as a basis for explaining the functioning and constitution of the ICE and its organs.

Resultados de aprendizagem e competências

The course aims to equip students with theoretical and practical knowledge on the operation, constitution and
repair of Internal Combustion Engines (ICE) and its various organs and systems through the transmission of
theoretical knowledge and direct contact with the equipment and constituent parts. It is also intended that
students know and be able to keep up with technological developments relating to Internal Combustion
Engines. Moreover it is intended that the revision of the theoretical knowledge acquired by the student in other
subjects over the course takes place gradually, using this knowledge as a basis for explaining the operation
and constitution of MCI and its organs.

Modo de trabalho

Presencial

Pré-requisitos (conhecimentos prévios) e co-requisitos (conhecimentos simultâneos)

As prerequisites, for students to be successful at UC, they must have completed the UC courses with a positive assessment:
Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Heat and Mass Transmission, Materials. They should also have notions of chemistry and combustion

Métodos de ensino e atividades de aprendizagem

Theoretical classes:

Use of the expository interrogative method, leading students to reach conclusions.

Practical classes - laboratory:
Students have direct contact with the laboratory equipment, using the active method of discovery, through observation and detailed description of the organs and their functioning, using, for this purpose, whenever necessary, the assembly / disassembly of different Engine systems and mechanisms and its commissioning. Other available resources (literature, Internet, etc.) are also used to prepare the reports to search for information, namely on recent and developing technologies.

Obtenção de frequência

The course has two assessment components: Laboratory (L) and Theoretical Practice (TP), which can be assessed continuously or alternatively by final exam.

1st continuous evaluation
• 5 laboratory works (TL), with a weight of 40%
• 2 tests related to the Practical Theory component, with a weight of 60%

2nd Global Final Assessment by Exam
• Includes questions about the Laboratory component, with a weight of 40%
• Includes questions about the Practical Theoretical component, with a weight of 60%

Where exam dates are set by the Pedagogical Council.

In all evaluation components there will be a Written and an Oral evaluation part


Grades:
- Students perform 5 labs in groups of 2 or 3 students
Each group of students will make two presentations, of 20 minutes each, respectively on two laboratory works.
•An overtime workload of 60 hours is estimated for each student.
•Only students enrolled in the subject may take assessment tests.

Fórmula de cálculo da classificação final

It is obtained that the final grade is calculated by the following expression: NF = 0.6 x TP + 0.4 x L
