Syllabus Information

5.1. Methodological overview

The learning process that is designed for this subject is based on the following:

The teaching process will involve three main levels: lectures, problems and laboratory, with increasing level of student participation.
• In the lectures the theoretical basis of the automated systems will be presented, illustrated with numerous examples.
• In the classes of problems and issues such cases will be developed involving students.
• Laboratory practices will be developed in small groups where students perform the simulation, implementing and analysing real  automation and control systems.
• In addition, to encourage continuous and autonomous student work, additional learning activities to do throughout the semester will be performed.

5.2. Learning tasks

The program offered to the student for achieving the expected results includes the following activities ...

Class work: 2.4 ECTS (60 hours)

1) In-person class (type T1) (30 in-person hours).

Lectures of theoretical and practical content. The concepts and fundamentals of automatic systems are presented, illustrated with real examples. Student participation through questions and brief discussions will be encouraged.

2) Classes of problems and cases resolution (type T2) (15 in-person hours).

Problems and cases involving students, coordinated at all times with the theoretical contents will be developed. Students are encouraged to work the problems previously. Some of these hours may engage in learning activities assessable as specified in each course.

3) Lab (type T3) (15 in-person hours).

The student will perform the simulation,  implementing and analysing real automation and control systems. A script practice will be available, consisting of sections of previous study and practical realization in the laboratory. The preliminary study must be worked out before the practice. Each practice will be qualified in the laboratory.

Non-in-person work: 3.6 ECTS (90 hours)

4) Study (type T7) (86 non-in-person hours).

Student Personal study of the theoretical part and realization of problems. The ongoing work of the student will be encouraged by the homogeneous distribution of the various learning activities throughout the semester. This includes tutorials, as a direct support for the student, identification of learning problems, orientation in the subject, advising to exercises and assignments ...

5) Evaluation tests (T8) (4 in-person hours).

In addition to the qualifying function, evaluation is also a learning tool with which the student checks the degree of understanding and assimilation reached.
