Syllabus Information

5.1. Methodological overview

The methodology followed in this course is oriented towards achievement of the learning objectives. A wide range of teaching and learning tasks are implemented, such as

• Lectures, where the main theoretical concepts of the course will be presented and illustrated with practical examples.
• Practice sessions with problem-solving tasks and student participation.
• Laboratory sessions, where practical work is carried out individually or in pairs and students put into practice the concepts of interest, and implement the designed control schemes in simulation and real systems.

5.2. Learning tasks

The course includes the following learning tasks:

• T1 Lectures (30 hours). The teacher presents the theoretical and practical content of the course. The concepts and fundamentals of computer control are illustrated with examples. Student participation through questions and brief discussions is encouraged.
• T2 Practice sessions (15 hours). Problems and case studies with student participation, coordinated with the theoretical contents. Students are encouraged to work on the problems previously.
• T3 Laboratory sessions (15 hours). The student carries out the simulation, implementation of real control and analysis of automation systems. Task instructions will be available, which consists of a previous study and the different activities of the task. The preliminary study should be done prior to the session.
• T7 Individual assignment (86 hours). It consists of an individual study of theoretical concepts and implementation problems. The ongoing work of the student is encouraged by the homogeneous distribution throughout the semester of the various learning activities.
• T8 Assessment tests (4 hours). In addition to their grading function, the tests are also a learning tool with which the student checks the degree of understanding and assimilation acquired.
