This subject developes basic concepts for the understanding of the greater part of the processes related with energy in an installation, both on board and ashore.
As an example, allows to know, analyse and optimise the operation of an internal combustion engine,a boiler or a turbine.
Without the knowledge of the thermodynamic principles results very difficult the understanding of many subjects of the study plan, as Gas and Steam Turbines, Internal Combustión Engines, Auxiliary Systems of ship, Steam Generators, Refrigeration, etc.
To attend the course is advisable to have previous knowledges of Physics and Mathematics.
Contingency plan
1. Modifications to the contents
No changes will be done
2. Methodologies
*Teaching methodologies that are maintained
Introductory activities
Keynote speech (takes into account in the evaluation)
Problem solving (takes into account in the evaluation)
Supervised projects (takes into account in the evaluation)
Document analysis.
Objective test (takes into account in the evaluation)
*Teaching methodologies that are modified
Collaborative learning will not be done. The skills related to this activity are covered by “supervised projects” activity.
3. Mechanisms for personalized attention to students
E-mail: To carry out inquiries, solve theoretical and problem-solving doubts and follow up on supervised work.
- Moodle: Through the forums, students can ask questions about theoretical content and problem-solving. Led discussions can be raised on certain contents of the subject.
- Teams: Sessions in the official schedule for the development of the theoretical-practical contents and the supervised works.
Additional sessions if necessary or on student demand, for the resolution of doubts and support in supervised work.
4. Modifications in the evaluation
Supervised projects account for 30 % of the total mark
Objective test accounts for 60 % of the total mark
*Evaluation observations:
The same requirements are maintained in the 2nd evaluation computing attendance both, personal and on-line if applicable (according to the attendee list downloaded from Teams).
For students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic exemption from attendance exemption, the grade obtained in the activities associated with the personalized tutoring system will correspond to the evaluation of the supervised projects methodology and objective tests, with a weighting of 40 and 60%, respectively.
5. Modifications to the bibliography or webgraphy.
No changes will be done. Students can access digitized content, both theoretical and practical in Moodle.
