2. Pre-Requisites
In order for the students to achieve the learning objectives described, it is highly recommended to have passed the subjects of the previous courses that allow the student to have a general idea of this subject, especially those related to technology, calculation, design and development of an engineering project. Likewise, it is advisable to have knowledge of English, office automation and computer-aided design software, at least at a basic level.
3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
We are facing a discipline and a subject different from those that are taught throughout the degree; It can be said that it is atypical within the set of subjects, but nevertheless very typical within the engineering profession. We are facing a very formative subject, in which the student has to work in a team, has to give it dedication, and in which he can glimpse something of what his profession is going to be. It is not just that the student learns specific jobs that could be done throughout the course; what it is about is that he learn some methods, a way of working, a way of doing things that allows him/her to carry out other different specific jobs. Even what is intended is that he acquires qualities, behavior and, why not say it, a suitable temperament to work in the world of project engineering.

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:Continuous evaluation of all training processes that will be weighted to obtain a final grade between 0 and 10 according to the current legislation (Real Decreto 1125/2003 de 5 de septiembre). The evaluation of the student is the result of the course follow-up and / or the exam or written test that will consist of theoretical questions and practical exercises. The course follow-up is based on:
- Evaluation of the assimilation of concepts and procedures through written tests.
- Evaluation of the acquisition of practical skills through an ad-hoc built profile of competences that considers the documentation submitted by the student, individually or in small groups, through reports, the work developed, and the skills and attitudes shown during assessments and guided practical activities.
- Evaluation of academic work carried out by students outside of class and supervised by the professor, individually or in small groups. The student must make, deliver, and defend before the professor a report with some of the proposed exercises. The professor will assess the presentation, exhibition, defense, and difficulty of the chosen exercises.
- Evaluation of laboratory practices in the computer room with application of specific software by assessing the attendance to the practices, the delivery of the work done in class, and the realization of a practical test in the same classroom.
The final grade of the student is from 0 to 10 points, taking into account the following remarks:
- The grade obtained in the progress tests (partial exams) is saved until the ordinary call. To pass and be able to weight the subject of each partial, a minimum grade of 4 points must be obtained.
- The grade obtained in the elaboration of reports of practices is saved until the extraordinary call.
- The grade obtained in the elaboration of reports or works (the project of the subject) is saved until the extraordinary call. -
Non-continuous evaluation:Attendance at seminars may be replaced by individual work related to the presentations.
The software installed in the computer lab to perform the practices will be accessible free of charge for individual installations. The final exam have to be carried out in the computer lab.
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
The students who have not attended and delivered the practice reports and / or the project of the subject will attend it. In order to pass the subject in the extraordinary call, they must deliver the practice reports and the project of the subject in addition to take the final test that will include all the contents of the subject.
Non-continuous evaluation:
- The software installed in the computer lab to perform the practices will be accessible free of charge for individual installations. The final exam will be replaced by a job.
Students who do not attend the extraordinary session will be considered as NOT TAKEN.
Non-continuous evaluation:
- The software installed in the computer lab to perform the practices will be accessible free of charge for individual installations. The final exam will be replaced by a job.
Students who do not attend the extraordinary session will be considered as NOT TAKEN.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
