In order to take full advantage of this course, it is recommended that the student possesses skills related to mathematical problem solving, physics and electromagnetism problem solving, circuit theory, electric power lines, as well as high voltage engineering.

In Order CIN/351/2009, of February 9, 2009, Spanish legislation establishes the requirements for the verification of official university degrees that enable the exercise of the profession of Industrial Technical Engineer. This order specifies that the graduate in Electrical Engineering must acquire knowledge about power systems and their applications. The course Power Engineering contributes to the acquisition of this competence by the student.

Evaluation System	Continuous assessment	Non-continuous evaluation *	Description
Assessment of problem solving and/or case studies	50.00%	50.00%	The report that the student must deliver with the solution of the proposed case studies related to the technical operation of power systems will be assessed. The students who follow the continuous evaluation will have to deliver the report on a date agreed during the course. Students who do not follow the continuous evaluation will have the deadline for the delivery of this report on the day of the regular exam.
Assessment of activities done in the computer labs	50.00%	50.00%	The report that the student must deliver with the solution of the practical cases proposed during the course in relation to the economic operation of power systems will be valued. The students who follow the continuous evaluation will have to deliver the report on a date agreed during the course. Students who do not follow the continuous evaluation will have the deadline for the delivery of this report on the day of the regular exam.
