General description

In this subject different topics related to metrology and quality control are developed, such as the determination of the uncertainty of the measurement process, the use of tolerances and their application to functional parts, the description and use of measurement equipment in the industrial field and the techniques and tools for the quality control of parts.

Methodologies

Methodologies ::

	Description
Laboratory practicals	The students will work with different metrological equipment such as coordinate measuring machine, coordinate measuring arm and structured light metrological scanner among others. The aim of these practices is that the student learns the basic operation of different metrological equipment commonly used in the industrial field. Attendance to the practices is mandatory to obtain a grade in this part.
Practicals using information and communication technologies (ICTs) in computer rooms	In the computer classroom the theoretical contents of the course will be worked in a practical way. During the development of these practices the students will perform an exercise that will allow to evaluate the use of these practical sessions. Attendance to the practical sessions is mandatory to obtain a grade in this part of the course.
Seminars	In the seminars the professor will explain the basic tools of quality and activities/works will be carried out using these tools. Attendance to the seminars is mandatory to obtain a grade in this part.
Lecture	The master classes will have a theoretical and practical content, with a clear technological orientation specific to the subject. Each lesson will specify its objectives, the knowledge to be acquired and the skills to be developed by the students. The exposition will be preferably oriented to a participative development stimulating the attendance of the students.

Seminars

Practicals using information and communication technologies (ICTs) in computer rooms

Mixed tests

Description

There will be tutorials where specific doubts will be solved, dedicating all the time exclusively to this purpose. Therefore, we will try to assist the students in all the works of the course.

Assessment

	Description	Qualification
Laboratory practicals	Each session will be evaluated on the basis of the work done by the student during or after the session.	15%.
Seminars	During the seminar, exercises of varying difficulty will be assigned, which the students must complete and submit.	15%
Practicals using information and communication technologies (ICTs) in computer rooms	During the practical activities, the professor will propose various exercises, questionnaires and/or short evaluative tasks to control the continuous evaluation.	30%
Mixed tests	Theoretical-practical tests on the contents of the course will be carried out.	40%

Other comments and second call
In the second sitting, students will have the opportunity to retake any mixed tests and practical activities from the computer lab that were not passed in the first sitting. The evaluation criteria will remain the same as those established for the first sitting.
