The aim of this Curricular Unit is to endow the future mechanical engineers, with the necessary knowledge to interpret and elaborate hydraulic circuits for industrial applications. It is equally intended to sensitize to the maintenance associated to this type of systems.

The students should acquire the following skills:

1. Understanding of the physical intrinsic properties of fluid power systems;
2. To interpret fluid power circuits in symbology C.E.T.O.P - Comité European des Transmissions Oléohydrauliques et Pneumatiques;
3. To detect and repair common failures in fluid power systems;
4. To project and mount real schemes in this specialty;
5. To design simple fluid power systems;
6. To manage the operation and maintenance of industrial fluid power systems.
