Abstract(s)

Within the scope of the Mechanical Technology II course unit of the Degree in Mechanical Engineering of the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança (Portugal), it was proposed to carry out a practical work involving the design and manufacture of small teaching machines, specifically a hydraulic press (in the academic year 2015/2016) and a manual plate rolling machine (in the 2016/2017 academic year). Each work was carried out by a group of four students and was developed in four stages: project; manufacture; assembly and testing the machines; and writing a technical report. The students showed great enthusiasm for this type of work, which was even more evident in the stages of the manufacturing, assembly and testing the machines. In addition to improving the understanding of theoretical concepts by applying them to practice, it was also found that the level of self-confidence of students regarding contact and handling with industrial machines increased significantly.
