2. Pre-Requisites
During the development of the subject, mathematical concepts and tools that are taught in subjects from previous courses will be used. To achieve the learning objectives described, students must possess the following skills and knowledge:
- Knowledge of basic numerical calculation and applied to engineering.
- Knowledge of programming and use of computer programs with application in engineering.
- Understanding and command of the basic concepts of the general laws of mechanics and thermodynamics and their application to solve engineering problems. Transfer of heat and matter, and thermal machines.
- Knowledge of the principles of fluid mechanics and hydraulics.
Likewise, it will be necessary to have a UCLM account, and basic knowledge of managing Moodle, to be able to consult Moodle on a regular basis, since possible variations in the programming of the subject will be conveniently communicated in the news forum of Moodle.
3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
The subject is located within the Energy Technology subject. The purpose of this subject is to provide adequate training in the knowledge and skills related to applied technologies and the processes necessary to carry out the energy transformations that allow obtaining thermal energy, mechanical energy and, finally, electrical energy, from available primary energy, both renewable and non-renewable. The subject also provides training in the knowledge of the installations and management processes necessary for the supply of electrical energy. Appropriate training in the topics dealt with in this matter is a key aspect for the engineer specializing in energy and fuels.

8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
| Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
| Mid-term tests | 60.00% | 0.00% | General Line: It will consist of carrying out one or more written and/or oral tests with aspects of theoretical-practical application. In the case of exams that have a theoretical part and a practical part, a minimum of 40% of the maximum grade that can be obtained in each part will be required in each part in order to make an average, in such a way that a grade is finally obtained. minimum of 5. |
| Projects | 40.00% | 40.00% | General line: The problems and/or works presented will be valued. The following will be taken into account: problem statement, use of terminology, choice of procedure, justification of the process used, results obtained, cleanliness and presentation of the document. In addition to the oral expression used in the presentation and the ability to answer questions from the teacher and the rest of the students. Documents: All documents delivered must comply with the specific regulations for their delivery, which will be available to students on the Moodle platform. It will also be necessary to make one or more presentations in PowerPoint format in class or through Teams. The presentation will be made in small groups or individually. Considerations: In order for the work(s) to be considered, it is necessary and essential that they be defended. Evaluation: In the group work and the delivered presentations, more than 40% of the maximum grade that can be obtained in this activity must be obtained. The student who, for different reasons, decides not to participate in this activity, must pass the same contents with the same methodology on another date after the ordinary final exam and before or equal to the date of the extraordinary final exam. |
| Final test | 0.00% | 60.00% | General Line: It will consist of carrying out one written and/or oral test with aspects of theoretical-practical application. In the case of exams that have a theoretical part and a practical part, a minimum of 40% of the maximum grade that can be obtained in each part will be required in each part in order to make an average, in such a way that a grade is finally obtained a minimum of 5 |
| 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 subject will be passed obtaining a score equal to or greater than 5.
CONSIDERATIONS IN CASE OF COPY
Those students who submit the copied assignments/practice scripts/exercises (that is, whose percentage of resemblance to other student(s), from their course or from previous ones, is greater than 80%), will be evaluated with a zero in this exercise. This means that they will have to take an exam for the copied activity in the extraordinary final exam. -
Non-continuous evaluation:Same considerations as in the case of the ordinary call. Those students who cannot make the exhibition of the work in class, will make it using Microsoft Teams.
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
For those students who have not followed the continuous evaluation or who have not passed it, a test similar to the one carried out in the ordinary call will be carried out and tests that allow the recovery of the rest of the activities will also be included.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
Final exam of all the contents and activities of the subject
