1. General information
The goal of the subject Mechanics is to train students in the approach and resolution of the kinematics and dynamics of mechanical systems. Thus, the ability to model a mechanical system will be developed, considering its parameters of movement and its kinematics, as well as the present actions and those that constitute an unknown of the dynamic problem. Finally, the mathematical model for the simulation of the movement must be proposed.
Previous knowledge in Physics I, Mathematics I, Mathematics II and Graphic Expression is recommended for this subject.
These approaches and goals are aligned with the following Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations Agenda 2030 ( https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/es/) in such a way that the acquisition of the learning results of the subject provides training and competence to contribute to some extent to its achievement: Goal 3 (Objective 3.6), Goal 7 (Objective 7.3) and Goal 9 (Objective 9.4 and 9.5).
2. Learning results
In order to pass this subject, students must demonstrate the following results:
Modeling of mechanical systems by means of schematization and definition of variables.
Knowledge of motion composition applied to mechanical systems.
To know how to define and identify the motion parameters and degrees of freedom of a mechanical system.
Understanding and application of the forces generated in the interaction between solids.
Understanding and application to mechanical systems of the concepts of center of masses and inertia tensor.
Application of vector theorems to mechanical systems and interpretation of results.
Application of the mechanical characteristics of electric, pneumatic and hydraulic drives.
Knowledge and application of mechanical systems modeling software.

TYPE 1 ASSESSMENT.
1) Group work (15 % of the overall grade)
Choose between solving a collection of problems or carrying out a multidisciplinary project with Problem Based Learning methodology.
2) Qualification of learning in the practice sessions (15 % qualification)
3) First Midterm Exam (35 % grade)
The first midterm exam will be held on a date announced well in advance and will account for 35% of the grade. A minimum grade of 4.5/10 must be obtained to average with the other grades.
4) Second midterm Exam (35 % grade)
The second midterm exam will be held in the time slot arranged by the Center for Continuous Assessment. A minimum grade of 4.5/10 must be obtained to average with the rest of the evaluable activities.
TYPE 2 ASSESSMENT.
In the two official calls, the global assessment will be carried out with the following tests:
1) Final test (70% of the overall grade). Minimum grade to average 4.5/10.
2) Examination of learning in practice sessions (15% grade).
3) Examination of short questions on group work problems (15% grade).
