Industrial Facilities and Equipments

Recommended Prerequisites

Physics I and II; Transport Phenomenon I and II.

Teaching Methods

Methodology is oriented to the motivation of students to learn more about the subjects discussed and to provide materials in an intelligible form to the student. Audiovisual media are used to support explanation of subjects.

Discussion of practical cases is adopted as methodology for practical lessons.

Study visits to industrial plants are carried out to consolidate the knowledge obtained in classroom.

Learning Outcomes

To know the characteristics of the main equipment used in industrial plants, as well as its iteration with other devices and the influence of operation in terms of energy, environmental and safety, with the aim to develop skills that allow students to identify the variables associated to select and install equipment. Develop capability to get knowledge autonomously; critical analysis; synthesis capability, ability to work in team and ability to communicate.

To know the fundamentals of technical drawing, in order to develop skills in terms of the representation of orthogonal views and views in perspective pieces. Provide briefly some of the programs used for graphical representation of parts.

To know the fundamental characteristics of single-phase electrical systems and the basic characteristics of an electric engine.
