2. Pre-Requisites
It is recommended to have passed the subject of Fundamentals of Physics (first course), although it is not essential.
3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
The use of electrical and electronic devices for the measurement and control of processes in the industry is widespread. In this subject we outline the basic principles of operation of motors and electronic circuits, in different levels of complexity, as well as the sensors used for the measurement of physical-chemical properties in the industry. Although the maintenance and design of these systems does not correspond directly to the chemical engineer, it is necessary to have a general idea of its functioning within the common contents to all the engineering areas related to the industry. Once acquired the competencies associated with this subject, we will be able to understand the general logic of operation of electronic circuits and sensors, as well as automated control systems of industrial equipment. In this way, we will obtain an aptitude enough to participate in multidisciplinary meetings between different types of engineers in an industry.

8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
| Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
| Oral presentations assessment | 10.00% | 0.00% | In the block of Electric Machinery there is an activity of this type that provides the complement to the examination (30%), for the 50% that this block means in the subject |
| Assessment of problem solving and/or case studies | 5.00% | 0.00% | In the Electronics block there will be the option to solve at home problems or cases, and would be 10% of the note of that block (5% in the total of the subject) |
| Laboratory sessions | 5.00% | 0.00% | In the Electronics block there will be the option to perform a laboratory practice, which would be 20% of the note of that block (10% in the total of the subject) |
| Progress Tests | 80.00% | 100.00% | The subject is divided in two blocks evaluated through partial exams (or progress tests). These tests will evaluate both the theoretical contents developed in the lectures, and the practical lessons focused on learning the resolution of exercises. The number, type and proportion of the questions that make up these partial exams will depend on the Electric Machinery or Electronics block. Each teacher would detail this point and the minimum assessment requirements on the first day of its class. |
| Total: | 100.00% | 100.00% |
According to art. 4 of the UCLM Student Evaluation Regulations, it must be provided to students who cannot regularly attend face-to-face training activities the passing of the subject, having the right (art. 12.2) to be globally graded, in 2 annual calls per subject , an ordinary and an extraordinary one (evaluating 100% of the competences).
Evaluation criteria for the final exam:
-
Continuous assessment:The course is divided into two blocks: Electronics and Electric Machinery
The blocks are evaluated by means of progress tests (one exam per block, the second being held on the same date as the ordinary official call). Each test (maximum score 8 points) consists of practical exercises and theoretical questions. The number, type and proportion of the questions that make up the aforementioned exams will depend on each block. On the first day of class, each teacher will detail this point and, in addition, the minimum assessment requirements to pass their exam. Only once the exam is passed, the grade of the additional activities will be added (maximum of 2 points).
At last, the final grade of the ordinary evaluation will be the average of the grades of both blocks.
In the event that any block is suspended, the note that will appear in the certificate will be only the arithmetic average of the exams, with a maximum of 4 points. -
Non-continuous evaluation:In this case, a final exam is proposed consisting of two parts (related to the course blocks), each with theoretical and practical questions. In the same way, the final grade of the ordinary final exam (and of the subject) will be the average of both parts, provided that they have obtained grades equal to or greater than five.
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
Students who have not passed the full course in the ordinary call must sit in addition to a final exam (extraordinary call). This test consists of two parts (related to the course blocks), each with theoretical and practical questions.
In this exam, the student can keep the grades of the blocks previously passed, and must attend to those parts where the minimum grade was not exceeded in the previous exams. The rules, design and evaluation criteria of the extraordinary exam will be the same as in the ordinary call.
In this exam, the student can keep the grades of the blocks previously passed, and must attend to those parts where the minimum grade was not exceeded in the previous exams. The rules, design and evaluation criteria of the extraordinary exam will be the same as in the ordinary call.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
The same criteria will be applied as in the ordinary call (non-continuous evaluation).
