Objectives
The objective of the curricular unit is to introduce the skills necessary to master the main areas of industrial automation. The objective skills are knowledge of the main sensors used to control industrial processes, knowledge of actuation systems, namely pneumatic, hydraulic and electrical technologies. One of the specific objectives is to understand the predecessor methods of current automation, in order to be able to understand and deal with older installations. The most important objective is to gain the ability to develop and implement algorithms in automatic systems controlled by PLCs.

Evaluation Methodology
Assessment will be carried out every season through a written test (50% grade weight) and ten theoretical-practical assignments carried out throughout the semester (50% grade weight). Passing to the discipline is obtained by obtaining the minimum assessments defined in the IPT regulations. The criteria are identical for all students, including students with working-student status.
