Mechatronics Technology
The constant development of Industry 4.0 means that mechatronics professionals have their hands quite full. Come build the world of intelligent systems.
Presentation
The ISPGAYA Mechatronics Technology course provides markedly practical and experimental training, based on the theoretical knowledge required for professional practice.
Mechatronics Technology Technicians are qualified with skills that are much sought after in this industry and allow them to: Operate conventional machine tools; Program and operate machine tools with Numerical Command; Design and assemble pneumatic automation control circuits and systems; Design and assemble electromechanical and electropneumatic control circuits; Design, assemble and program command systems based on Programmable Logic Controllers; Detect malfunctions and repair industrial equipment; Plan and execute maintenance operations on industrial equipment or review and diagnose them.
The metalworking sector is one of the most exporting sectors in Portugal, has great growth potential and lacks qualified personnel.
Graduate Activities
