Methodologies |
Methodologies |
Description |
Laboratory practice |
Methodology that allows the realization of activities of practical character, with computer, such as modelization, analysis and simulation of mechanical and structural elements, as well as experimental studies in the workshop of structures, for studying its deformation and resistance |
Supervised projects |
Methodology designed to promote autonomous learning of students, solving a problem that involves the contents of the course and involves specific skills, under teacher supervision. |
Guest lecture / keynote speech |
Oral lecture supplemented with the use of audiovisual means, aiming transmit knowledge and facilitate the learning within the scope of structural analysis |
Problem solving |
Técnica a través da cal hai que resolver unha situación problemática específica, a partir da
coñecemento que se traballou e que pode ter máis dunha solución. |

Qualification
|
Laboratory practice |
B5 B7 B9 |
Students must systematically attend practices. The proposed activities have to be done along the practical sessions, in order to be revised and evaluated by the teacher. The practices that aren’t developed during the practical classes, and periodically revised by the teacher will not be considered in the qualification.
The evaluation process of the laboratory lessons includes a two hour practice session, where the student solves with the computer the problems proposed by the teacher, individually. |

Supervised projects |
B5 B7 B9 |
The projects include the theoretical and practical contents of the course. They are to be done individually. The projects will be developed during the practical sessions along the course and completed at home on the student personal work hours. The tasks will be followed and revised during the practical lessons. If the projects aren’t matured during the practical classes, nor periodically revised by the teacher, will not be considered in the qualification. |

Assessment comments |
Students, whose presence throughout thesemester where insufficient to track their work, by academic waiver or othercauses, must also develop and present practices and tutored work for theirevaluation. The follow-up of this work shall be carried out in tutoringsessions. In this case, the process of evaluation may include in addition tothe presentation of practices and tutored work, a practice session,individually or in group, in which the student addresses manually or with thecomputer the problems raised by the teacher. For the second chance you can present or improvepractices and tutored work. The tracking is done in tutorial sessions. Theassessment is done through presentation of practices and tutored work pendingand/or improved. The process of evaluation may include, in addition to thepresentation of practices and tutored work, a practical session, individuallyor in group, in which the student addresses manually or with the computer theproblems posed by the teacher. The evaluation criteria of the early December call will be the same as those of the second opportunity of the previous year. Proven
fraud in any work, test or evaluation activity will directly lead to a failing
grade of "0" in the work, test or evaluation activity in question,
without the option to resubmit it in the extraordinary or advanced call.

<p help achieve a sustained immediateenvironment and meet the objective of the action number 5: "Teaching andhealthy and sustainable environmental and social research" of the"Plan of action Green Campus Ferrol":</p><p work presented in this matter: </p><p Should be requested in virtual format or computer support </p><p Will take place through Moodle, in digital format without having toprint them </p><p Should be required on paper:</p><p -Not be&nbsp; they used plastic </p><p -There will be double-sideprinting.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p -Will use recycled paper.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p -Prevent printing drafts. </p><p should make a sustainable use ofresources and the prevention of negative impacts on the natural environment</p> By decision of the EPEF quality commission, theoptional subjects cannot work more than the basic skills already mentioned inthis teaching guide. However, in the subject "Structure modeling usingfinite elements" the following specific competences of the degree are alsoworked on: A1 FB1 - Ability to solve mathematical problems thatmay arise in engineering. Ability to apply knowledge of: linear algebra;geometry; differential geometry; differential and integral calculus;differential and partial derivative equations; numerical methods; numericalalgorithmic; statistics and optimization. A23 TEM4 - Knowledge and skills to apply thefundamentals of elasticity and resistance of materials to the behavior of realsolids. The basiccompetences of all the electives are worked on together with these specificcompetences, which are initially acquired in other compulsory subjects, and arereinforced and consolidated in this elective.
