C1 | CMECES1 That students have demonstrated possession and understanding of knowledge in an area of study that is based on general secondary education, and is usually found at a level that, although supported by advanced textbooks, also includes some aspects that involve knowledge from the cutting edge of their field of study |
C2 | CMECES2 That students know how to apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional manner and possess the skills that are usually demonstrated through the development and defense of arguments and the resolution of problems within their area of study. |
C4 | CMECES4 That students can transmit information, ideas, problems and solutions to both a specialised and non-specialised audience |
C5 | CMECES5 That students have developed those learning skills necessary to undertake further studies with a high degree of autonomy |

Methodologies |
Description | |
Lecture | Theoretical classes, where the professor presents the content through lectures. The use of a blackboard, projector, and other materials available on the web will be made. |
Problem solving, classroom exercises | Practical classes in which problems will be solved using the Matlab tool. |
Practicals using information and communication technologies (ICTs) in computer rooms | Execution of 4 computer lab practices proposed by the professor. The tool used will be Matlab. |
Personal tuition | By appointment via email or in person. Individual or group tutoring sessions will be conducted to address any doubts that may arise related to understanding concepts or the development and resolution of assignments proposed by the professor. |

Assessment |
Description | Qualification | ||
Practicals using information and communication technologies (ICTs) in computer rooms | Submission of the practice report in the computer lab. | They will account for 20% of the grade. | |
Practical tests | Two evaluation assessments will be conducted to assess mastery of both theoretical and operational knowledge of the subject. These assessments will account for 80% of the grade. | These assessments will account for 80% of the grade. | |
Other comments and second call | |||
1. Nature of the subject: The role of the subject in the degree program is predominantly practical, with a predominance of practical classes where concepts and techniques developed in theoretical classes with computational implementations are applied. Emphasis will be placed on understanding theoretical concepts to apply them confidently in the formulation, resolution, and interpretation of problems. 2. Recommendations for autonomous work: For autonomous student work, the following guidelines are recommended:
Constant review of each student's work and assessment tests will be the mechanism for controlling and monitoring student learning. This evaluation will be summative, and the subject is passed by obtaining at least 5 points and at least 2.5 points in each evaluation control. The student's work will be monitored through:
During the tests, handling any material other than what the instructor specifies is not allowed. The possession and use of mobile and/or electronic devices are strictly prohibited during the tests. Merely possessing such devices, as well as unauthorized notes, books, folders, or various materials during evaluation tests, will result in immediate removal from the exam, expulsion, and a failing grade. The incident will be reported to the Academic Authority of the Center for further action as outlined in the Guidelines for Action in Cases of Plagiarism, Copying, or Fraud in Exams or Evaluation Tests, approved by the Permanent Commission of the Government Council on January 29, 2015. 4. Second Call: Students who fail the first call (June) will have the right to a second call (July), consisting of a practical exam covering the entire subject worth between zero and ten points. To pass, at least five points must be obtained. 5. Extraordinary Call in December: This option is available to students who have a pending subject and/or the TFG to complete their studies. It will consist of a practical exam in which at least five points must be obtained to pass. The same regulations regarding handling of materials and electronic devices apply during tests. |

Other comments | |
If a student does not participate in any of the evaluation tests, they will receive a zero score for that test, which will be taken into account to calculate the average grade. Once the date for a written partial test is set, it cannot be changed, and any student who does not attend will receive a zero grade. |
