General description The course focuses on classic control theory. The course introduces the basic concepts in control systems. The topics covered include the use of software tools for the analysis and design of control systems and the link between theory and practice to understand how control systems are implemented in industrial settings and which technologies are used for this purpose.

Methodologies
Methodologies   ::  
  Description
Personal tuition Individual and group tutorials to facilitate learning the contents of the subject.
Problem solving, classroom exercises Students will solve exercises and problems applying the contents of the subject.
Practicals using information and communication technologies (ICTs) in computer rooms Students will carry out practices on the subject in computer rooms.
Assignments Students will carry out proposed work on the contents of the subject for evaluation.
Presentations / expositions Oral presentation by students of a specific topic or a work.
Lecture The professor will use the necessary tools to illustrate theoretical concepts with practical applications and thus achieve the complete symbiosis of theory and praxis.

Personalized attention
 
Personal tuition
Description
Students can have the professor's help in individual or group tutorials. These tutorials will be carried out in the professor's office or in the subject's practice rooms, upon request from the student via email.

Assessment
  Description Qualification
Assignments The evaluation of the works is based on the corresponding documents delivered by the student in a timely manner. The structure, bibliographic review, depth of content and inclusion of case studies are taken into account. Public presentation is also valued. 50%
Mixed tests Tests that combine developmental tests and objective tests of short questions. 50%
Others Complementary continuous evaluation activities are taken into account, such as provisional deliveries, class attendance and the degree of student participation in them. In the case of carrying out other activities, these may be assessed additionally to raise the final grade of the subject, they will never be used to pass it.
 
Other comments and second call
The attitude and collaboration of the students for the best development of teaching and learning of the subject are values considered very important. Incorrect behavior in the classrooms, improper use and deterioration of equipment and resources, obstructions to the normal development of teaching activities and lack of respect towards classmates and professors are penalized in the final grade of the subject with a reduction that may reach up to one point for each wake-up call.

For the 2nd call, the requirements to pass the subject are maintained, and with the same weighting.

The evaluation criteria are indicative. Professors may find specific situations that justify readjusting the percentages shown. 

EVALUATION TESTS

During the evaluation tests, it will not be possible to use any material or device that has not been expressly authorized by the professor.

If any irregularity occurs during the corresponding exam or evaluation test, the exam will be immediately withdrawn, the student will be expelled and graded as a fail. In any case, the provisions of the internal regulations of the ULE included in the document "Guidelines for action in cases of plagiarism, copying or fraud in exams or evaluation tests" will be followed (Approved Permanent Commission of the Government Council 01/29 /2015).
