Laboratory Practices Agenda:

Practice 1: Introduction to System Modeling with Matlab.

Practice 2: Transfer and Modelling Function with Simulink.

Practice 3: Transient Analysis of 1st and 2nd Order Systems.

Practice 4: Permanent and Frequent Regime Analysis.

Practice 5: PID Controller.

Time distribution of the agenda of the subject in any of the engineering degrees that coexist: Double Degree in Mechanical Engineering and Business Management and Administration, Double Degree in Mechanical Engineering + Industrial Electronics and Automation Engineering, Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Bachelor's Degree in Industrial Electronics and Automation Engineering and Bachelor's Degree in Industrial Chemical Engineering.



The course includes 2 fundamental parts:

1. Automation

You will be given 2 hours of theory per week for 8 weeks and 2 hours of practice per week for 10 weeks.

2. Automatic control

You will be given 2 hours a week of theory for 7 weeks and 2 hours a week of practice for 5 weeks.

The practices are mandatory and in those cases that do not do them must conduct an examination of practices upon request, before the final examination.



The final exam will take place in May. It will consist of two parts one of Automatismos and another of Control. If at least 50% of the internships are not performed, or there is no request for written examination of the internships, it is considered not presented in the subject, as well as if having submitted to more than 50%, submitted in writing to the professor resignation, 10 days before the examination.Each part will score over 10, obtaining a minimum of 3.5 in each part in order to be able to qualify so laboratory practices.



The final note will be:



30% obtained in the examination of Automatismos (up to 3 points) and 20% obtained in the practices of Automatismos, where the the group work will be evaluated (up to 2 points).30% obtained in the Control exam and 10% obtained in the Control practices, where the competence of the problem solving (up to 1 point) will be evaluated and 10% obtained in knowledge evaluations through test or development of the proposed theory



That is, it will be calculated according to the following mathematical operation:

(Note examination Automatismos) X 0.3 + (Note laboratory practices of Automatismos) X 0.2 + (Note of examination Control) X 0.3 + (Note of Control classroom practices) X 0.1 y (Note by tests of knowledge obtained in Control) X 0.1



If you do not get a 3.5 in each part of the exam, the subject will be suspended and the final note will be the sum of those obtained in the exams, divided by two and multiplied by 0.6 without being able to add the scores of the practices.

The teaching materials will be made available to through the e-gela platform or the teacher's website.
