2. Pre-Requisites
Although no requeriments are necessary, it is strongly recommended that the student has previously studied the courses Manufacturing Processes and Industrial Organization and Manufacturing Technology.
3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
This course is close to the courses "Procesos de Fabricación y Organización Industrial" y "Tecnología de Fabricación". Thus the contents are a deeper treatment of the quality tecniques ot the dimensional control for manufacturing products in the mechanical industry. Therefore, students adquire professional competences that are directly connected to the mechanical manufacturing processes..

8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
| Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
| Oral presentations assessment | 15.00% | 0.00% | |
| Laboratory sessions | 25.00% | 0.00% | |
| Assessment of active participation | 10.00% | 0.00% | |
| Final test | 50.00% | 100.00% | |
| 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 score of the students must be 3.5 out of 10 in their progress tests in order to be able to pass the course and/or eliminate the corresponding part for being done in the exam of the ordinary call. In other case, students will have to do the final exam. In that exam the minimum mark should be 3.5 points to pass the global evaluation of the course.
If the student does not reach the minimum score pointed out before in the exam, the global score will the one obtained in the exam. -
Non-continuous evaluation:Students must obtain a mark of 5 points thoroughout the next parts in the evaluation: theoretical and practical contents (60%), a specific lab exam (25%) and an oral/written exam related to the contents involved in the students¿oral presentations carried out during the course (15%).
In the theoretical-practical exam the minimum mark should be 3.5 points to pass the global evaluation of the course.
If the student does not reach the minimum score pointed out before in the exam, the global score will the one obtained in the exam.
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
Students evaluated by continuous systme must do an examn about the course contents (50%). Laboratory activities, oral presentation of topics and the participation in classes activities, will be taken into account. If the student needs to recover any of these parts for not having been passed, a specific exam for the corresponding parts should be done. Nevertheless it is necessary to obtain 3.5 out of 10 to pass the course. If the student does not reach the minimum score pointed out before in the exam, the global score will the one obtained in the exam.
Students that were evaluated by non-continuous system in the ordinary assesment will be under the same considerations than those applied in the ordinary call.
Students that were evaluated by non-continuous system in the ordinary assesment will be under the same considerations than those applied in the ordinary call.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
The specifications for the resit/retake exam are applicable.
