Methodologies

Methodologies ::

	Description
Case study	During the course and in parallel with the theoretical contents seen in the classroom, the student will develop a study on the manufacture of a part or component using the additive manufacturing process. This work will be carried out individually and the teacher will monitor it establishing stages for its elaboration.
Practicals using information and communication technologies (ICTs) in computer rooms	Practices will be carried out using computer applications involved in the different stages of the additive manufacturing process.
Laboratory practicals	Additive manufacturing equipment of different technologies will be shown, bringing the student closer to the industrial reality. The student will be able to experience in a practical way all the stages of the process involved in the manufacturing of a part with different techniques and materials.
Seminars	Team work will be carried out, exchanging information and using it to delve deeper into a specific topic. The professor will propose the topic of the seminar, and will provide information related to this topic, which the student will have to read before the seminar. The student's work will be evaluated by means of a report to be prepared after the seminar in the classroom. This report will have a relative weight in the final grade of the course. The elaboration of the report will be done in a non-attendance way.
Lecture	Classroom classes will have an eminently theoretical content and will address the fundamental concepts of the subject with a technological and practical approach.

Description

Tutorials will be conducted individually, either via email or in person.

Assessment

	Description	Qualification
Case study	The student will have to carry out and defend a work based on a study about the manufacturing of a part or component using the additive manufacturing process. This work will be evaluated according to a rubric that will be available to the students.	50%
Mixed tests	In order to assess the knowledge acquired during the course, a test will be given consisting of short answers to theoretical questions or multiple-choice questions.	35%
Others	Durante el curso se plantearán diversas actividades complementarias y/o pequeños trabajos evaluables, con el fin de hacer un seguimiento de la evaluación continua.

Other comments and second call
In the second call, the blocks corresponding to "Mixed tests" and "Case study" can be recovered keeping the grade obtained in the block "Others" corresponding to follow-up activities of the continuous evaluation.
