Description |
Supervised projects |
To develop the design of the engine room of a given vessel, that will be defined at the beggining of the course. On it, some of the knowledge acquired along the course will have to be applied.
At the beggining of the course, and depending on the number of students, it will be decided if the project has to be done individually or in groups of students. |
Supervised projects |
To develop a project work about a given topic within the contents of the course, that will be defined at the beggining of it. This project will be orally presented.
At the beggining of the course, and depending on the number of students, it will be decided if the project has to be done individually or in groups of students. |
Oral presentation |
Oral presentation of the project work about a topic of the course, in front of the professor and the rest of the students. Moreover, the student will also evaluate the oral presentations of the rest of the groups |
Objective test |
Theoretical/practical written examination about the different contents of the course. |
Problem solving |
Resolución de problemas prácticos de cada un dos temas nos que se divide a asignatura, tanto polo profesor como polos propios alumnos, en sesións presenciais. |
Guest lecture / keynote speech |
