2. Pre-Requisites
The student must have acquired the knowledge imparted in the subjects of mathematics, physics and graphic expression. In addition, basic knowledge of strength of materials is recommended.
3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
This subject provides the student with the basic skills necessary to carry out the professional activity of Industrial Technical Engineer, in particular those related to the fundamental concepts of structural calculation, delving into the study of the behavior of deformable solids. This knowledge will later be used as support for the acquisition of skills developed in other specific compulsory subjects such as: Design and Calculation of Metallic and Concrete Structures; Theory of Structures and Industrial Constructions; Design, Calculation and Testing of Machines; o Projects in Engineering.

8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
| Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
| Assessment of problem solving and/or case studies | 15.00% | 15.00% | The reports of seminars, problems and / or papers presented as well as the attitude shown by the student will be evaluated. The content is on the principal stresses and directions. |
| Mid-term tests | 70.00% | 0.00% | Two tests related with the application of theoretical-practical aspects. Each test must be passed at least 4 out of 10. |
| Final test | 0.00% | 70.00% | It will consist of a test that encompasses all the topics of the subject (final exam). |
| Laboratory sessions | 15.00% | 15.00% | Use software (Mathematica or Matlab, etc.) to check the analytical results of the problems. The results obtained and the cleaning and presentation of the document will be taken into account. |
| 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 subject will be passed with a score equal to or greater than 5.
Those students who have not passed any of the partial exams, will maintain the score of the exams passed for the final ordinary and extraordinary exams, having to be examined only for the partial tests not passed. -
Non-continuous evaluation:FINAL SCORE = 0.15 x (GRADE IN ASSESSMENT OF PROBLEM SOLVING AND/OR CASE STUDIES) +0.15 x (GRADE IN LABORATORY SESSIONS) + 0.7 x (GRADE IN FINAL TEST).
The subject will be passed with a score equal to or greater than 5.
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
The subject will be passed with a score equal to or greater than 5.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
The subject will be passed with a score equal to or greater than 5.
