4. Degree competences achieved in this course
| Course competences | |
|---|---|
| Code | Description |
| CE06 | Students have a basic knowledge of the use and programming of computers, operating systems, databases and software with engineering application. |
| CE07 | Students reach understanding and mastery of the basic concepts on the general laws of mechanics, thermodynamics, fields and waves and electromagnetism and their application for the solution of engineering problems. |
| CE12 | Students have the ability to apply their knowledge of building materials to structural systems. Knowledge of the relationship between the internal structure of materials and the mechanical properties derived from it |
| CE13 | Students gain the ability to analyze and understand how the characteristics of structures influence their behavior. Ability to apply knowledge of the structural behaviour to design structures according to existing standards and using analytical and numerical calculation methods |
| CG02 | Students can use proper oral and written communication |
5. Objectives or Learning Outcomes
| Course learning outcomes | |
|---|---|
| Description | |
| Students understand the laws of statics and the the way isostatic structures work. | |
| Students use computer programs that simulate the mechanical behavior of materials and structures. | |
| Students understand the behavior of bodies and materials through theoretical models (material point, rigid solid body, deformable solid body). They apply these models to specific cases and use them to predict mechanical phenomena. | |
| Students know the materials of interest in civil engineering. In particular, the interrelationship between the internal structure of the material, their macroscopic properties and the structural forms derived from them. They also know the applications, ways of processing and placing on site of the main materials of interest in civil engineering. They select and design suitable materials for each application and structural form in civil engineering. | |
| Additional outcomes | |
| Not established. |

8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
| Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
| Final test | 50.00% | 70.00% | The final exam will be divided into two (P1, P2), each part with a minimum of 4. Recoverable through a new exam (PF) for non-continuous evaluation with a minimum of 4. |
| Practicum and practical activities reports assessment | 16.80% | 30.00% | The practical parts (PL) consists of the laboratory practice and the part from the numerical assignments with a minimum note of 4. The details for the written report will be given in virtual campus when the classes start. |
| Assessment of problem solving and/or case studies | 16.60% | 0.00% | The evaluation is based on the excises and problems solved out of class hours (PE). |
| Progress Tests | 16.60% | 0.00% | Continuous evaluation of all the materials explained in class (PP). |
| 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 laboratory tests are mandatory and can be recovered with a written report. Requirements for the written report will be indicated on the virtual campus at the beginning of the semester.
In the final exam, topics can be freed if satisfactory results were obtained in the partial exams. In the retake exam, one single exam will be given for the theoretical part, another one for the computer practice.
In order to pass the subject, the students need to have
1) P1, P2, PL >= 4.
3) The final note calculated as 0.5*(P1+P2)+0.168*PL+0.166*PE+0.166*PP >= 5.0
No evaluation will be preserved for the next academic year. -
Non-continuous evaluation:Unless stated otherwise, continuous evaluation criteria will be applied to all students. Anyone choosing non-continuous assessment must inform the lecturer within the class period of the subject. This option is only available if the student's participation in evaluation activities (from the continuous assessment) has not reached 50% of the total evaluation for the subject. For the retake exam, the assessment type used for the final exam will remain valid.
Global evaluation: 0.7*PF+0.3*PL
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
The retake exam consists of one single test with covers all the theoretical part of the course material (70%) in addition to the written report from the practice (30%). It is going to be evaluated from 0 to 10, with a minimum of 5 to pass.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
The partial tests will be carried to the retake exam, if a minimum of 4 out of 10 is obtained. No evaluations will be preserved for the next academic year.
