Abstract

This work plan aims for the formation and training of an undergraduate student in the characterization of piezoelectric materials and assembly and testing of prototypes of mechanical to electrical energy converters. The knowledge of this methodology and technique will allow the scholarship holder to act, later, in the private sector in technological innovation activities. (AU)
