Future
The future possibilities of EM&PETT will only continue to increase, into areas such as solar
photovoltaic converters. For example, the tool shown in figure 2 is intended to be
autonomous from the electrical grid, being powered by solar energy.
Also planned is the extension of the application into other industrial engineering degrees
as Mechanical Engineering, in subjects such as vibration in rotative machines and fatigue
in shafts.
