The objectives defined for this course is naturally related to the role of Chemistry, which is at a time fundamental and of pedagogical support. The approach and development refers to the specific level of the students’ knowledge, and has in view the applicability of chemistry to the study of mechanical engineering. The aim is to give students an overview of the basics of chemistry underlying the transformations and the characterization of matter and of the structures it forms.


At the end, students should be able to: - Solve simple physicochemical problems using the appropriate formulas without difficulties in what units, concentrations, reactions yields or phase changes are concerned. - Identify, interpret and be able to communicate the relationship between the microstructure and the properties of materials; - Approach, interpret and solve problems involving physical and chemical homogeneous or heterogeneous systems; - Predict the evolution of chemical systems based on thermodynamical data; - Interpret and communicate the mechanisms involved in the deterioration of metals by electrochemical processes; - Complement and consolidate the knowledge of the subjects covered in the course, being able to access new knowledge through the use of library materials, databases, internet, etc.

Students attending at least 75% of theoretical lectures and theoretical-practical classes have a "continuous” component in their evaluation consisting of three short tests (ca. 30 minutes) during the “theoretical-practical” classes. The final grade is calculated as follows: The three tests are worth 25% of the final grade (5 points out of 20) and the final exam is worth 75% of the final grade (15 points out of 20). The remaining students just have the final examination, in which they are required to obtain at least 47.5% (9.50 out of 20 points).

ECTS: 7


Study plan: Elaboration of a team-oriented project, privileging subjects that embrace several areas of mechanical engineering and related to real world cases, involving the study, calculation and dimensioning of devices, mechanisms, equipments or installations. Each project is assigned to a group of two or three students. Groups are given the option to propose their own project theme or to choose from a list of projects that are proposed by the instructors. The groups receive their project assignments in the first weeks of the semester. The students are then familiarized with the various phases of a project, namely: understanding the problem and developing a plan of approach, the conceptual design phase, the detailed design phase and the report phase. Each group is oriented throughout the semester by one or more instructors, according to the areas involved in their project. The groups should use the classes for developing their project work and for consulting the instructors about specific problems concerning the project. The instructors can use some classes for the presentation of topics common to several projects, e.g., the methodology of project elaboration, the structure of the report, norms and regulations or the application of construction codes. The students are encouraged to carry out bibliographical researches and visit factories and suppliers related to the project. The use of software tools is valued, especially if developed by the group for calculations, dimensioning or simulating. The experimentation and the construction of a prototype will also be valued.

The main aim of this course unit is to introduce students to machine elements and to develop their ability to analyze, design and/or select machine elements. Thus, the major purposes are: to learn how to design and implement various individual mechanical components into the design of mechanical systems; to learn about methods and components of design which result in mechanical systems with long operating lives and high reliability; to learn to be able to predict the life and reliability of an existing mechanical component or system; to enable students to learn how to identify and quantify the specifications and trade-offs for the selection and application of components which are commonly used in the design of complete mechanical systems; to teach students how to apply the fundamentals of engineering science to analyze and design commonly used mechanical components to meet specifications; to develop in students the ability to select, configure, and synthesize mechanical components into complete systems.


Upon successful completion of this course, the students are able to analyze, design and/or select power transmission systems and mechanisms with emphasis on the design of: flexible power transmissions, gears, shafts, rolling element bearings, screws, and springs involving economic, safety, life and reliability prediction and manufacturing aspects.
