Teaching methods and learning activities

Theoretical classes will be based on the presentation of the themes of the course, while the theoretical-practical ones will be based on problem solving. In theoretical-practical classes it will be used computer programs of simulation, so that students can better understand the themes of the course. Students can do their assignments during theoretical-practical classes.

Eligibility for exams

This course is composed by two assessment components: - 2 practical assignments with reports - A final exam Students will be admitted to exams if: - They do not miss more classes than allowed by the rules - They achieve a minimum mark of 50% in the assignments The assignments will assess the following CDIO Syllabus: 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 2.1, 2.3, 2.4, 3.1, 3.3, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 and 4.6 The exam will assess the following CDIO Syllabus: 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 2.1, 2.3, 2.4

Calculation formula of final grade

The assignments are worth 40% while the exam is worth 60%. Students have to reach a minimum mark of 45% in the final exam. Assignments and exam are assessed in a scale of 0 to 20.

Examinations or Special Assignments

Not applicable

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

An exam and the assessment of reports of the practical assignments.
