4. Academic activities

4.1 Planning of learning activities and calendar of key dates

The schedule of classroom and problem sessions and practical sessions in the laboratory are given according to the timetable established by EINA. It is published prior to the beginning of the term on the Centre’s web page and on the bulletin boards.

At the beginning of the term, the dates for the delivery of the partial reports of the project as well as the delivery and presentation of the final project will be announced. Other activities will be planned according to the number of students and will be announced well in advance

At the end of the four-month period, students must submit and present a paper and take an exam on theoretical contents. The work will be monitored through the delivery of periodic reports.

Detailed dates for completion and delivery of activities will be established by the teacher once the University and EINA have approved the academic calendar. This calendar will be available on the Centre’s website, on the bulletin boards and on the Digital Teaching Ring platforms.

5. Assessment system

5. Type of tests and their value on the final grade and evaluation criteria for each test

To verify that the student has achieved the expected learning results, the following evaluation procedures will be used:

1) Theoretical Exam (25%).

Composed of short questions and/or problems that assess the learning results of the subject. There will be an exam at each official call.

The grade for this activity will be from 0 to 10 points and will represent 25% of the student's overall grade.

The theoretical exam is intended to evaluate the learning results previously exposed.

2) Work (75%).

Throughout the four-month period, students will carry out a project in working groups.

The topic of the project will be related to a mechanical system and can be proposed by the group.

The following documents must be included: Memorandum, Plans, Specifications and Budget. If applicable, it will also include a Health and Safety study.

At the beginning of the term, the parts that make up the work and the specific weighting applicable will be established and communicated in class and through the means established by the teachers responsible of the subject.

Throughout the term, there will be two revisions of the work, which may be graded for the final grade of the work.

The project will be delivered, depending on the specific conditions of the academic year, in the form defined for it (paper, computer support, or work tools such as Moodle)

In addition to the delivery of the project on paper and computer support, an oral presentation may be proposed by the teachers in charge, to those groups in which it is considered necessary due to the magnitude of the work or to show the participation in the work of each member of the group

The project is intended to assess the learning results of points 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

The subject will be considered passed when both the grade of the exam and the grade of the projects are equal to or higher than 5

The global evaluation test will consist of a theoretical exam and the realization of a project according to the specifications of the teacher. The percentage of each of the parts is equal to 25% for the exam and 75% for the project. This test will take place during the period established by the centre in the academic calendar.
