In order for students to achieve the learning objectives described above, they must possess knowledge and skills that are supposed to be guaranteed in their previous training, especially those related to physics and mathematics.
The contents that make up the subject matter of Electrical Engineering will lay the foundations for successfully tackling subjects that are taught later on, such as Electrical Energy Systems and Renewable Energy Engineering, which form part of the specific training in Energy Resources, Fuels and Explosives.
In addition, they are the only training in electrical energy systems within the Mining curriculum, and these graduates must also have training in the electrical field.
With the subjects that make up the subject, students will acquire knowledge of electrical and electronic circuits, as well as the electrical system and the regulations to be applied in this field.

Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
Practicum and practical activities reports assessment | 20.00% | 20.00% | The work done by the student during the practices and the quality of the report presented will be evaluated. As it is a compulsory activity, it is a necessary condition to carry out and pass the laboratory practices in order to pass the course. If, for justified reasons, a student has not attended a laboratory session, there is a possibility of making up the course, justifying non-attendance within the time limits that will be indicated at the beginning of the course. Finally, students who have passed the evaluation tests but have not passed the practices may take a practice test. The practices qualification will be retained for two academic years. If, after this time, the student has not passed the course, he or she must return to the laboratory practices and evaluate them again. |
Projects | 10.00% | 10.00% | This activity will consist of the resolution of problems or cases proposed by the teacher. The quality of the work carried out will be valued, as well as the attitude when developing the work. |
Test | 35.00% | 0.00% | It will consist of tests related to both theoretical and practical application aspects of topics 1 and 2. All students will be able to take this test, with theoretical/practical questions. Only those who obtain a mark higher than 4 (out of 10) may add up the scores of the other partial tests, requiring an average score of 5 points to consider the examinations passed and, only in this case, the remaining scores will be counted. As it is a recoverable activity, if the partial test is not passed, it can be recovered in the final test. |
Test | 35.00% | 0.00% | It will consist of tests related to both theoretical and practical application aspects of topics 3, 4 and 5. All students will be able to take this test, with theoretical/practical questions. Only those who obtain a mark higher than 4 (out of 10) may add up the scores of the other partial tests, requiring an average score of 5 points to consider the examinations passed and, only in this case, the remaining scores will be counted. As it is a recoverable activity, if the partial test is not passed, it can be recovered in the final test. |
Final test | 0.00% | 70.00% | It will cover the whole of the subject evaluating theoretical and practical aspects of it. This exam will be compulsory for students who have not passed one or more mid-term exams and, therefore, the percentage of the grade will be the one corresponding to each of the mid-term exams, and the exam will be structured as a mid-term exam and therefore a minimum grade will be required in each of the parts according to what is stated in the mid-term exams in order to consider the exam passed. Only if you have a minimum score of 5 points in the exam, the scores of the other sections will be taken into account. Students who do not pass the course in the final exam will be given an extraordinary summons, for which the grades of the partial exams will not be saved, but all students who need this exam will be evaluated on the whole subject. |
