2. Pre-Requisites

Students are expected to demonstrate learning skills acquired during the previous academic course related to Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry

 

 

3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession

Students will develop skills to determine the properties of materials and choose the most adeqaute material for a given industrial application. 

Such skills will be the used in further subjects such as Materials Engineering and Technology, Fabrication Technologies, Technology of Composite Materials, Fabrication systems, etc, in the different industrial engineering degrees.

8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
Evaluation System Continuous assessment Non-continuous evaluation * Description
Final test 70.00% 70.00%
Laboratory sessions 15.00% 15.00%
Assessment of problem solving and/or case studies 5.00% 5.00%
Theoretical papers assessment 10.00% 10.00%
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:
    Marks in the exam must be equal or above 4.0 to calculate the average. Marks below 4.0 shall imply final qualifications below 4.0. Students failing in either the contiunuous evaluation activities or lab work must add the corresponding fraction of the final qualification to the final exam/test
  • Non-continuous evaluation:
    Marks in the exam must be equal or above 4.0 to calculate the average. Marks below 4.0 shall imply final qualifications below 4.0. The marks of students failing lab work (exam) will depend exclusively on the final exam/test

Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
Marks corresponding to continuous evaluation mode and/or lab work will be kept for the entire academic year.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
Same conditions for resit/retake exam apply
