| Assignment 1. Study and analysis of a project related with the speciality. |
The students, either on individually or in groups, will look for a project documentation to study and analyse it, and on which they will elaborate a Technical Report. This Report will contain at least: an assessment of the main aspects that on the view of the student stand out in the project, the description of the project's structure, contents, arrangement and presentation of its documents, as well as its adaptation to the contents of the UNE 157001:2014 standard. The analysis will take into account, among others, the treatment in the project of the social, health and security, environmental, economic and industrial aspects, as well as the level of usage of suitable project methods. |
| Assignment 2. Realisation of a technical proposal for preparation of a project related with the speciality. |
The students will be arranged in groups of three to five members, and they will draft an offer of professional services addressed to a fictional petitioner (internal or external promoter) containing at least the following: the project approach, work methodology to be followed for his elaboration, and description of the material resources and humans that are necessary. This proposal will also address the social, health and security, environmental, economic and industrial aspects. It will promote too that the solutions proposed make use of some avant-garde knowledge in the specific field of engineering. In this work, students will be required to use cutting-edge software packages from the Mechanical Engineering field (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, CATIA, Ultimaker Cura3D, 3D Slicer, MexhMixer, …) that are aplicable to the specific problem to be tackled. |
| Assignment 3. Elaboration of the documents of a simple project. |
The students, arranged in groups of three to five members, will develop, according to its level of difficulty, the documentation for the preliminary draft or of a detail project. It will be required to do a presentation and defence of the work. The students will select and apply appropriate project methods according to the project goals and to the specific technological discipline. In the frame of the development of these documents, the students will have to resort to bibliographic research, query and use of databases and other sources of information, as well as carrying out specific simulations and analyses of the engineering field. The work will be carried out using a multidisciplinary approach, aiming to integrate knowledge from other courses in the degree for the project-level definition of the solution to the posed problem. |
| Assignment 4. Elaborate a basic planning/scheduling for the execution of the previously elaborated project. |
Supported by the project management methods and tools, each student team will elaborate the planning and scheduling for the execution of the works in the previously elaborated project, making use of appropriate methodologies according to the posed goals and to the technological discipline involved. |
