| Metodologías |
| Metodologías | Descripción |
| Prácticas a través de TIC | Practical classes carried out in the ICT lab, with the objective of learning how to program an autonomous marine vehicle (real or simulated) to develop a simple mission. In these classes, the teacher will help students to properly understand the topics |
| Sesión magistral | Masterclass where teachers explain the theoretical concepts of the topics, and students can ask questions. |
| Trabajos tutelados | Autonomous work where students must solve some challenge involving programming an autonomous marine vehicle to solve a task. There can be one of incremental complexity or more than one with independent objectives. In this methodology, students will be organised in groups, so they will have to collaborate to achieve the goal. |
| Salida de campo | A field trip will be made to the UDC ship model basin to analyse the real conditions of the environment where the ROV operates |
| Prueba mixta | Written or oral examination where students will show their understanding of the theoretical concepts of the subject. |

| Metodologías | Competéncias | Descripción | Calificación |
| Prueba mixta | A4 B4 B5 B6 B11 B13 C2 | Students will have to show their knowledge and understanding of the theoretical concepts of the subject by means of a written or oral activity | 30 |
| Trabajos tutelados | A4 B3 B4 B5 B6 B7 B8 B9 B11 B13 C2 C3 C7 | One or more incremental projects will be proposed throughout the course focused on solving realistic problems with autonomous marine problems using real or simulated robots. These tasks will be developed autonomously by the student outside the classroom and must be defended in front of the teachers. | 60 |
| Salida de campo | A4 B3 B7 B9 B11 B13 C4 C7 | The correct preparation, execution and understanding of the field trip will be assessed by the teachers of the subject. Students must prepare a report which will be evaluated. | 10 |
