EVALUATION SCHEME

Laboratory: 50%
Final project: 25%
Classwork: 25%

COURSE OBJECTIVES
1. Learn about Discrete Event Systems (DES) and their applications, as well as to have a comprehensive view of
recently trends in the INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION arena.
2. Develop the ability to conceptualize and to design cutting-edge solutions in the INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION
domain, and to formulate problems for potential industrial application.
3. The final project aims to address, contextualize, formulate and implement a project in an interdisciplinary
manner, through teamwork, from a strategic and critical perspective, providing sustainable, relevant and
innovative solutions from the discipline of Industrial Automation. The skills sought are effective communication,
teamwork, leadership, negotiation and a contribution to society.
