General proficiencies

The General Proficiencies that a student must achieve are:

 

CG1: Proficiency in writing, signing and development of projects in the industrial engineering environment in the three specific technologies: Mechanics, Electrics and Electronics. The purpose of these should be the construction, remodeling, repair, conservation, demolition, manufacture, installation, assembly or exploitation of structures, mechanics equipment, energy installations, electric and electronic installations, industrial plants and installations, and manufacturing and automation processes.

CG2: Proficiency in managing the project activities mentioned in the previous point.

CG3: Knowledge of the basic subjects and technologies leading to the ability to self-learning of new methods and theories and to the adaption to new situations.

CG4: Proficiency in solving problems on their own, making decisions, being creative, reasoning in a critical manner and communicating and transmitting knowledge, skills and abilities in the field of Industrial Engineering in the three specific technologies: mechanics, electrics and electronics.

CG5: The student should learn to make measurements, calculations, assessments, evaluations, reports, working plans and other related activities.

Learning outcomes

When the subject is passed the student should be able to:

O1 - Develop systems and projects involving mechanical installations, structures, and manufacturing systems using current design trends.
O2 - Demonstrate sufficient knowledge on mechanics, structures, manufacturing systems, and materials to make them able to learn new methods and theories and to handle new situations.
O3 - Express and communicate ideas and systems related to mechanic elements of machines, loads applied to structures and parts, manufacturing systems, and materials.
O4 - Understand and prepare technical documentation professionally in the context of the activities related to machine and mechanic elements, loads applied to structures and parts, manufacturing systems, and materials, specially those related to explain conceptual designs.
O5 - Master the calculations of mechanical elements of machines and loads applied to structures and parts using computational methods and tools.

required grade
O1, O2, O3, O4 Long answer exams 75 Yes, by a final recovery exam 5/10
O1, O2, O3, O4  Exercises and reports 15 Yes, by providing with the exercises and reports before the deadline.  
O1, O2, O3, O4, O5

Tests and reports of experimental practices 10 No  
         

 

 

 

Along the semester, diverse evaluation activities will be proposed. These activities will consist of:

  • Solving problems.
  • Writing reports of experimental practices.
  • Solving ordinary exams.

The possibility of taking the ordinary exams is conditioned to:

  • Solving properly at least 60% of the proposed exercises.
  • Attending the experimental practice sessions.
  • Handing in the associated reports.

In case of passing the final exam (in the ordinary or extraordinary call), the final mark of the subject will be composed of:

  • 75% mark of the ordinary exams.
  • 10% marks of the experimental practices.
  • 15% marks of the proposed exercises.

In order to pass the subject it will be necessary that the final mark of the subject is equal or higher than 5/10.

An additional recovery exam will be proposed for all the students, who had not passed the final exam.
In case of not having obtained a mark equal or higher than 5/10 in any of the final exams (in the ordinary or extraordinady call) the qualitative final mark of the subject will be fail and the quantitative mark will be the highest mark obtained in both final exams.
The grade "no show" will be obtained by the students not taking any of both final exams.
