Acceptance TestingEach team was required to demonstrate the performance of their design for the “customer.”Course faculty played the role of the customer. The faculty emphasized that it does not matter ifthe prototype worked previously, it must work at the time of the demonstration.Customer acceptance testing was performed with the protype mounted to the computer-controlled test fixture that was used to test both static and transient performance. The fixturecould be driven one step at a time (0.9°) to test the static performance of the tilt sensors.Stations were set up in the laboratory for various other required tests to be witnessed by thecustomer. The prototypes were each weighed as shown in Figure 11. The input current drawnfrom the 5V power

with the handling and correct application of tools, instruments, and laboratory equipment. • encourage group work and student integration. • develop competence in oral and written communication. • encourage the search for technological innovations in the development of engineering projects.Figure 1 - Objectives of an integrated project This work aims to present the details of the integrated and multidisciplinary project,applied from 2019 to 2022 in the Control and Automation Engineering course at the MauáInstitute of Technology. During this period, around 40 students per year were analyzed,always from the 4th year of the course, divided into approximately 10 teams per year
