Abstract
The present work addresses the analysis of needs and opportunities for creating an interdisciplinary laboratory to support the development of competencies in education in Automation and Systems Engineering. Within the scope of the New National Curriculum Guidelines for the Undergraduate Course in Engineering, published in 2019, there are points that highlight the need to develop skills in graduates and the use of active methodologies during the teaching and learning process. In view of this, we seek to understand the needs and opportunities for structuring a didactic laboratory of industrial automation as an educational resource for engineering courses and companies that wish to apply training to their employees. In the process of solving problems and developing innovative projects, the needs analysis is a step that belongs to the informational phase and aims to identify the customer's requirements and transform them into design requirements. As a methodology, the Quality Function Deployment Matrix (QFD) was used, which consists of a systematic matrix that lists the fields of consumer attributes, engineering characteristics, bodywork and roof. Consumer attributes present the customer's desires in a systematic way, such desires are often mentioned crudely and need to be refined for inclusion in the QFD. The engineering characteristics are technical attributes related to the automation laboratory under development, such points are defined with units of measurement and the need for maximization or minimization in the automation laboratory project is also indicated. In many cases, a preliminary design is selected as the starting point for obtaining these characteristics. The body of the QFD is a matrix that relates engineering characteristics and consumer attributes, through notes that express the level of relationship between these two points, that is, how much each engineering characteristic impacts, positively or negatively, the attributes of the product. consumer. The QFD roof expresses the relationship between engineering features, which can be positive, negative, or neutral. A survey of consumer attributes about the automation laboratory for engineering teaching was carried out in the literature related to engineering teaching, the specific engineering characteristics of the theme were defined, and from the QFD, the project requirements that guided the projects were obtained. functional aspects of infrastructure, personnel, operational processes and indicators for measuring the skills developed in the didactic laboratory.
