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. |

Methodologies
|
Student portfolio |
|
Description |
The teacher will guide, individually or in small groups, the way in which the students will build their portfolios based on the work assigned during the course. The teacher will also indicate if they should have other types of auxiliary materials that are not of their own elaboration. In addition, each student will be able to add materials of interest for his or her training in this discipline at his or her own discretion. |
