2. Pre-Requisites
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.
3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
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.

8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
| Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
| Projects | 10.00% | 10.00% | This activity will consist of solving problems or cases proposed by the teacher or answering multiple-choice questions. It is not recoverable. The grade will not be retained for subsequent academic years. |
| Practicum and practical activities reports assessment | 20.00% | 20.00% | The work carried out by the student will be assessed both during the internship and the quality of the report presented. As this is a compulsory activity, it is a necessary condition to complete and pass the laboratory practicals in order to pass the course. As in all compulsory and evaluable activities, at least 40% of the maximum grade must be obtained. If, for justified reasons, a student has not attended any of the practical sessions, there is the possibility of a make-up, justifying the non-attendance within the deadlines that will be indicated at the beginning of the course. Finally, students who, having passed the rest of the assessment tests, have not passed the practicals, may sit a practicals exam. The internship grade will be retained for two academic years. If, after this time, the student has not passed the course, he/she will have to retake the laboratory practicals and be re-evaluated again. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version) |
| Test | 35.00% | 0.00% | It will consist of tests related to both theoretical aspects and practical applications dealt with in subjects 1 and 2. Only those who obtain a mark equal to or higher than 40% of the maximum mark will be able to add the marks of the other partial tests, requiring a minimum mark of 4 points to compute the marks of the rest of the sections. As this is a recoverable activity, if the partial test is not passed, it may be recovered in the final test. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version) |
| Test | 35.00% | 0.00% | It will consist of tests related to both theoretical aspects and practical applications dealt with in subjects 3, 4 and 5. Only those who obtain a mark equal to or higher than 40% of the maximum mark will be able to add the marks of the other partial tests, requiring a minimum mark of 4 points to compute the marks of the rest of the sections. As this is a recoverable activity, if the partial test is not passed, it may be recovered in the final test. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version) |
| Final test | 0.00% | 70.00% | It will cover the whole course, evaluating both theoretical and practical aspects of the subject. This exam will be compulsory for students who have not passed the mid-term exams and, therefore, the percentage of the grade will be the one corresponding to each of the mid-term exams, structuring the exam as mid-term exams and following the same criteria that have been set out for the rest of the exams. Students who do not pass the course in the final exam. |
| 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:In the ordinary exams, students will have two mid-term exams which will be eliminatory, i.e. if they pass a mid-term exam, they will not have to take the final exam.
In order to pass the course in the ordinary exams, students must obtain a minimum of 40% of the maximum grade in each of the mid-term exams and in the practicals, all of which are compulsory activities.
If this requirement is not met, even if the overall grade of the subject after the weighted average of all the evaluable parts is higher than 5 out of 10, the grade in the minutes will be Fail (4). In the event that the weighted average does not reach 4, the grade will be that obtained from the weighted average of all the activities.
The recovery of the partial tests will be possible in the final exam, while the recovery of the practicals will be possible by means of a practice exam that will only be taken when at least 40% of the maximum grade of each of the partial tests has been previously obtained.
The use of any type of electronic device (mobile phones, tablets, smartwatches, etc.) is strictly forbidden, and it is not even allowed to use them during the exam, even if they are switched off.
In case of non-compliance with this rule, the grade will be Fail (0), even if the terminal is switched off. This rule is applicable for all exam sessions and also for the mid-term exams. -
Non-continuous evaluation:In the case of students who do not take part in continuous assessment, the criteria will be the same as for continuous assessment, except that the part of the assessment corresponding to the partial tests will be examined in a single final exam which will be structured as two partial tests and which will be subject to the same criteria as those established for the partial tests of continuous assessment.
The assignments will also be assessed, although they are neither compulsory nor recoverable (if they are not done, the student will forfeit 10% of the grade). Practicals are compulsory, assessable and recoverable, and students who do not take part in continuous assessment will be able to do them on dates agreed between students and teacher.
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
In the extraordinary exam session, the same criteria will be followed as in the ordinary exam session.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
In the special final exam session, the same criteria will be followed as in the ordinary exam session.
