It is recommended to have passed the subject of Fundamentals of Physics (first course), although it is not essential.
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.

Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
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) |
Mid-term 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. |
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 |
