  Description
Presentations / expositions The work will be presented orally in a scientific-technological manner to the rest of the classmates. This will enhance the student's communication skills.
Assignments It will serve to enhance the student's abilities, so that he/she will be able to "learn to learn". It is intended to be able to create their own mechanisms, so that based on what they have learned, they can expand, complete and experience their concepts, procedures and attitudes both in the academic and professional field.
Field work/trips Aimed at making contact with the future professional. Visits to Power Generation Centers will be made.
Practicals using information and communication technologies (ICTs) in computer rooms Students will have at their disposal the documentation and material necessary to carry out the practices. necessary for the realization of the internships. In this way, with the clarifications made by the teacher, the student will be able to carry out the the student will be able to carry out the practical work. The students will take note of the results and will elaborate a report which must contain the theoretical bases The students will take notes of the results and prepare a report containing the theoretical bases, the practical results obtained and the particular conclusions of their work.
PBL (Problem Based Learning) Methodology focused on promoting guided and autonomous learning of students. Group dynamics and sharing to reach reasoned solutions.
Lecture Verbal exposition of each topic, supported by the existing audiovisual resources (projector, projector, computer equipment, etc.). The student is motivated to participate actively with questions and answers, as well as to pose problems and solve them.

Personalized attention
 
PBL (Problem Based Learning)
Presentations / expositions
Assignments
Description
Individual and/or group tutorials will be held to solve doubts and coordinate the students' work. Formative evaluation is worked on in these sessions.

Assessment
  Description Qualification
PBL (Problem Based Learning) Problem Based Learning (PBL)/Problem Based Learning (PBL) is the work of students working in groups in an autonomous-guided manner to find an answer or solution to a problem. To solve it correctly, students must search, understand and apply the concepts of the problem.
Students build their own knowledge of the subject and work cooperatively. 		5%
Presentations / expositions Oral expression skills
Persuasive argumentation
Structure and organize ideas
Presentation of work 		20%
Assignments Adequate structure and presentation
Quality documentation
Bibliographic sources used
Originality and creativity
Correct use of specific terminology
Clarity and correctness in writing 		20%
Mixed tests Tests on theoretical-practical knowledge. This test will fundamentally evaluate the mastery of the basic knowledge of the subject.
knowledge of the subject.
Another aspect that will be evaluated with this test is the structuring of the contents.
Mastery of the knowledge and understanding of the subject.
50%
Others Attendance to class and to the proposed activities outside the classroom, visits to different facilities.
 
Other comments and second call

The grade is obtained from the following process:

1º. Perform the arithmetic average of all the objective Classroom Tests carried out in this period.

2º. To realize the arithmetic average of all the objective Tests of Practices and works, realized during the corresponding period.

3º. To perform these averages it is essential that in none of the objective tests the grade is less than 4.0.

4º. To carry out the weighting detailed in the previous table.

5º. The sum of the previous weightings will be the grade obtained by the student.

The teacher will inform prior to the celebration of the evaluative tests and through the teacher-student communication channel that considers appropriate (Moodle, bulletin board, classroom, email...) of the materials, means and additional resources necessary for the development of the exams or evaluation tests.

The use and mere possession of electronic devices that enable communication with the outside of the room (cell phones, radio transmitters, etc.) is expressly prohibited.

In the event of any irregularity occurring during the celebration of the evaluation test, the corresponding Regulations will be applied.

SECOND CALL:

In this case the student must pass a final exam (70%) of the totality of the learning results of the subject and present in due time the work requested (30%). 

The grade is obtained from the following process:

1º. In order to make the weighted average it is essential that in the final exam and in the requested works the grade is higher than 4.0 respectively.

2º. To carry out the weighting detailed above.

3º. The sum of the previous weightings will be the grade obtained by the student.
