Syllabus Information

5.1. Methodological overview

The methodology followed in this course is oriented towards achievement of the learning objectives. It promotes continuous work and focuses on the more practical aspects of machining processes planning and implementation of metrology instruments and tools for quality control.

In sessions with the whole group, the more theoretical aspects are explained and supporter with problems and technical case studies. The practice sessions take place in smaller groups to work with specialized applications and mechanical engineering equipment in the manufacturing and metrology laboratory. It aims is to promote practical learning, so attendance is recommended because direct experience is gained while students deal with the machines and manufacturing systems. At the end of each practice session, a short test or task is done. In some cases, the practice session enables data collection for a more elaborate work that makes possible better assimilation of knowledge related to the course. Such controls and work will be required in case the student chooses the continuous assessment system. 

5.2. Learning tasks

The course (6 ETCS: 150 hours) includes the following learning tasks:

• Lectures (28 hours). Oral presentations of theoretical concepts covering most of the course contents. Its aim is to present the knowledge and skills that must be acquired by the student and facilitate their assimilation.
• Practice sessions (14 hours). These problem-solving sessions are part of lectures to facilitate the learning process and provide a practical and applied overview of different theoretical topics.
• Laboratory sessions (18 hours). In small groups, students will do 6 sessions of three hours each in metrology laboratories and machining workshops. These sessions complement the understanding of those concepts of the course that require the practical use of specific equipment.
• Autonomous work (85 hours). The student should study all the theoretical topics and practice the solution of problems. The student will be encouraged to work in a continuous manner by means of a uniform work load along the semester.
• Assessment tasks (5 hours). In addition to the grading function, assessment tasks let students check their level of learning.
