2. Pre-Requisites
Knowledge of automation, manufacturing and organization of the company, applied to current specific aspects used in a manufacturing engineering process.
3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
The Industrial Engineer is the professional who uses the knowledge of the physical sciences and mathematics and the engineering techniques to develop his professional activity in aspects such as control, instrumentation and automation of processes and equipment, as well as the design, construction, operation and maintenance of industrial products. This training allows you to participate successfully in the different branches that integrate industrial engineering, such as mechanics, electricity, electronics, etc., adapt to the changes in the technologies in these areas and, if necessary, generate them, responding to the needs that are presented in the productive and service branches to achieve the welfare of the society to which it is owed.
Therefore, this subject is responsible for integrating concepts that the student has received in other subjects (calculus, Fundamentals of Computer Science, statistics, Science of materials, etc...) but has not seen a physical utility in a productived system. This aspect is very important to be able to form a practical engineer capable of integrating elements that apparently have not relation in a useful system.
In addition this subject facilitates the understanding of the mode of organization of the production of a company, that must be employed by the student during his practices in companies and during the development of his project end of degree.

8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
| Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
| Final test | 33.34% | 33.34% | Final test |
| Laboratory sessions | 33.33% | 33.33% | Work with contents related to the lessons |
| Projects | 33.33% | 33.33% | |
| 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 minimum mark in each of the parts shall be equal to or bigger than 5. The subject will be exceeded by obtaining an assessment equal to or bigger than 5.
The practices will be valued the utilization and the report of the same one. This activity should be exceeded at least, with a 5 over 10
Laboratory and computer practice sessions will be conducted in small groups. The students will perform different experimental measures in the laboratory or a series of calculations with a computer program.
It will be valued both the work in the laboratory or computer classroom as the report of the practice carried out, having both obligatory and recoverable character.
If the above requirements are not met, students, in order to overcome the subject, must do an examination of practices together with the final examination of the subject, whose value on the final qualification will be, in percentage, the same one that could be obtained with the Realization of the practices. -
Non-continuous evaluation:Evaluation criteria not defined
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
Students who have not performed the present activities (practices and problems), nor have elaborated the technical work, must undergo a single final examination with all the contents of the subject (practical and theoretical) seen throughout the course.
The minimum mark in each of the parts shall be equal to or bigger than 5. The subject will be exceeded by obtaining an assessment equal to or bigger than 5.
The minimum mark in each of the parts shall be equal to or bigger than 5. The subject will be exceeded by obtaining an assessment equal to or bigger than 5.
