Why this lifelong learning course?

The objective of this module is to make known the proper functioning of the different mechanical equipment and maintenance techniques associated with each equipment.

It deals with the problem of the different elements and mechanical systems (couplings, gears, etc.), as well as their respective maintenance.

Lubrication, the basic element of mechanical maintenance, is the object of study in a very special way.

We must also highlight, among others, the importance of maintenance, non-destructive testing and vibration analysis, as well as the application of corrective techniques.

In the course a maintenance plan will be developed and different laboratory practices will be carried out.

Aims

To provide maintenance technicians with comprehensive knowledge in industrial installations and techniques to be able to avoid breakdowns using proper testing and diagnostics.
To offer the means and knowledge needed to resolve breakdowns quickly and safely.

Who is it for?

Technical engineers or superiors.
Technicians and professionals from the industry who want to specialise, update or expand their knowledge in the field of industrial maintenance, even if they do not have a university degree.
To people who come from Vocational Training or Higher Level Training Cycles.

Degree

Lifelong learning diploma issued by the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. Issued pursuant to art. 34.1 of Organic Law 4/2007 of 12 April, amending Organic Law 6/2001 of 21 December, concerning Universities. To obtain this degree it is necessary to have an official. Otherwise, the Fundació Politècnica de Catalunya will only award them a a certificate of completion. (Ver datos que constan en el certificado).

Learning methodology

The teaching methodology of the programme facilitates the student's learning and the achievement of the necessary competences.

Learning tools

Participatory lectures

A presentation of the conceptual foundations of the content to be taught, promoting interaction with the students to guide them in their learning of the different contents and the development of the established competences.

Practical classroom sessions

Knowledge is applied to a real or hypothetical environment, where specific aspects are identified and worked on to facilitate understanding, with the support from teaching staff.

Case studies

Real or hypothetical situations are presented in which the students, in a completely participatory and practical way, examine the situation, consider the various hypotheses and share their own conclusions.

Assessment criteria

Attendance

At least 80% attendance of teaching hours is required.

Level of participation

The student's active contribution to the various activities offered by the teaching team is assessed.

Solving exercises, questionnaires or exams

Individual tests aimed at assessing the degree of learning and the acquisition of competences.

Work placements & employment service

Students can access job offers in their field of specialisation on the My_Tech_Space virtual campus. Applications made from this site will be treated confidentially. Hundreds of offers of the UPC School of Professional & Executive Development employment service appear annually. The offers range from formal contracts to work placement agreements.

Virtual campus

The students on this lifelong learning course will have access to the My_ Tech_Space virtual campus - an effective platform for work and communication between the course's students, lecturers, directors and coordinators. My_Tech_Space provides the documentation for each training session before it starts, and enables students to work as a team, consult lecturers, check notes, etc.
