Program:
Laboratory:
CG2: Ability to address the activities under Engineering projects described in the previous epigraph
CG3: Knowledge of the scientific and technological background necessary for the learning of new methods and theories and for a proper adaptation to novel situations.
CG4: Problem solving proficiency with personal initiative, decision making, creative and critical thinking. Capacity to elaborate and communicate knowledge, abilities and skills.
CFB2: Knowing and understanding basic concepts and fundamental laws of mechanics, fields and waves and electromagnetism as well as their application to problem solving in the context of engineering applications.
R1. Understand and use the fundamental physical principles of Electromagnetism in the analysis and study of the concepts and resolution of problems associated with subjects of higher degree courses.
R2. Identify and assess the physical aspects of Electromagnetism involved in the problems and specific engineering situations.
R3. Use and relate the different units of measurement of the main physical quantities related to Electromagnetism.
R4. Use appropriate measurement tools to determine the most relevant physical parameters in the field Electromagnetism.
R5. Acquire skills for experimental verification of physical laws and for the determination of physical parameters.
R6. Capability to report a measurement process in terms of its basis, required instrumentation and conditions in which it is valid.
R7. Know how to communicate information, ideas and conclusions.

Ordinary evaluation
The ordinary evaluation will be made through two written tests and the practical work at the laboratoty.
In order to pass the subject it will be necessary to obtain a minimum mark of 3 points in each of the written tests.
The average mark of the two written tests will be the 85% of the final mark. The remaining 15% will correspond to the laboratory mark.
The practical work at the laboratory is compulsory and cannot be passed through a resit exam.
Learning outcomes | Evaluation | Weight(%) | Resit |
R1,R2,R3,R7 | Written test, chapters 1, 2 and 3 | 42.5 | Yes |
R1,R2,R3,R7 | Written test, chapters 4,5,6 and 7 | 42.5 | Yes |
R4,R5,R6,R7 | Laboratory work (compulsory) and report evaluation | 15 | No |
Resit (extraordinary) evaluation
- Final written test, chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7.
The mark of this test will be the 85% of the final mark. The remaining 15% will correspond to the laboratory mark.
