General description This subject studies the fundamentals of analysis and synthesis of mechanisms, as well as the tools for their simulation, including kinematics, dynamics and graphic representation. For this purpose, some specific mechanisms will be explained and analyzed, such as bearings, gears and inertia wheels. Theoretical exercises will be carried out, as well as practical analysis by means of computers.

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.
C3 CMECES3 That students have the ability to gather and interpret relevant data (normally within their area of study) to make judgments that include reflection on relevant issues of a social, scientific or ethical nature.

  Description
Problem solving, classroom exercises In these sessions the teacher will guide students in the application of concepts and and theoretical results to the solution of problems and its modelling in mechanical engineering, fostering in every moment attitudes of reasoning and discussion. Some extra excercises will be proposed to the students to be solved by them so that they acquire skills in the use of the tools for problems resolution.
Practicals using information and communication technologies (ICTs) in computer rooms In the computer classroom, the student will practice the analysis and synthesis of mechanisms, as well as their simulation.
Personal tuition Tuition sessions will be held for consultation and resolution of doubts or to make clearer some theoretical or practical aspects of the subject. In these sessions the individual view of the student will be complemented with that of other students so that a better understanding of the subject can be achieved.
Assignments
Lecture Lectures will be used by the teacher to introduce the concepts of the subject by means of theoretical explanations and illustrative examples. The student will devote at least a 5% of her/his work without teacher to prepare these classes reading what the teacher previously had pointed out.

Personalized attention
 
Problem solving, classroom exercises
Assignments
Description
The teacher will establish a schedule for personalized attention, in which he will be available for individual or group consultations about theoretical or practical aspects of the subject.

Assessment
  Description Qualification
Assignments The student must submit a report on the work placement. 20%
Mixed tests The student will take tests with theoretical and practical content throughout the course. 80%
 
Other comments and second call

A minimum mark of 5 in the Objective short-answer tests and in the Practical tests will be necessary as well as an average mark of 5 to pass this subject.

In case of failing the subject in the first call the student must take other Objetcive short-answer test and Practical test in the second call. If the student had already passed the Assignments and the Practicals in the computer room it will not be necessary to be assessed again about them. If the student didn't pass these two parts, she/he will take an exam on the corresponding contents. In the second call the same criteria as in the first one regarding minimum marks will be applied.
