| Methodologies |
| Methodologies | Description |
| Laboratory practice | Both traditional Instrumentation and Robotics practices will be carried out with real and/or virtual materials. The visit to real instrumented installations will be included, to check the operation "in situ" of multiple devices. For Robotics practices, robots of limited performance in range and load may be used, but with similar functionality to those of a real working environment. |
| Student portfolio | It will include all the work done throughout the course, commissioned by teachers, as well as any other material that the student considers of interest in their training throughout the course. As far as possible, it will be done in digital support. |
| Mixed objective/subjective test | It will be the exam to be taken on the corresponding date set by the Faculty Board for the academic year. The contents of the exam, as well as the auxiliary material available to the students for its realization, will be indicated by the professors prior to the test. |
| Guest lecture / keynote speech | It corresponds to the expository teaching sessions, it will be a class directed by the teacher in which he will introduce the knowledge of the subject; but also, as far as possible, he will seek the participation of the students so that the dialogued intervention, supported by the means available in the classroom, favors the teaching-learning process. |

| Assessment | |||
| Methodologies | Competencies | Description | Qualification |
| Laboratory practice | A6 A7 B3 B7 B9 C3 C7 | The students will have the precise instructions, facilitated by the teacher for the execution of the laboratory practices. They will have to attend them and prepare the reports or documents they are asked to prepare. | 20 |
| Student portfolio | A2 A7 B3 B5 B7 B8 B9 C3 C7 C8 | Different learning activities will be carried out, during the course, from which the students will generate a set of evaluable elements, following the indications given by the teachers of the subject. | 40 |
| Mixed objective/subjective test | A2 A7 A10 B4 B5 B7 | This exam will take place on the date established by the Faculty Board, the instructions for its realization will be provided by the teachers in advance. The teachers will be able to carry out, on an optional basis, partial tests of the same nature, which may result in the release of the final exam. |
