This course develops competence "Ability to design control systems and industrial automation" within the common module to the industrial branch (M02R17).

This competence involves degree competences like:

- G004 (Transversal): Ability to solve problems with initiative, decision making, creativity, critical thinking and to communicate and transmit knowledge and skills in the field of Engineering in Industrial Organization.

- G006 (Specific): Ability to handle specifications, regulations and mandatory standards.

At the same time, it involves basic competences like:

- MEC2: Students can apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional manner and have competences typically demonstrated through devising and defending arguments and solving problems within their study area.

- MEC3: Students have the ability to gather and interpret relevant data (usually within their study area) to inform judgments that include reflection on relevant social, scientific or ethical.

- MEC4: Students can communicate information, ideas, problems and solutions to both specialist and non-specialist audiences.

- MEC5: Students have developed those learning skills necessary to undertake further studies with a high degree of autonomy.

Once the course is completed, students will know what methodology followed in the development of an automation project, they can choose the technologies and equipment suitable for such a solution, and know how to integrate all elements within industrial production systems.

In this course several methodologies are used, depending on the type of education:

- Master Lecture: Offering brief presentations of theoretical content will be taught by the teacher, carrying out various individual activities by the student.

- Seminary Mode: Brief theoretical/practical exhibitions will be taught by the teacher, devoting part of the on-site time to the realization of individual and group activities.

- Laboratory Model: Different works about case of concept in which implement the contents in lectures and seminar in order to strengthen both autonomous and group work .



A final group work will be is performed for the resolution of a case study that will bring together the different methodologies and technologies developed in the different modes.

Written Test: 70% (Pass score 40%

Seminar/Laboratory: 30% (Continuous Assessment)



Disposition for Seminar Sessions: 5% (Independent work – Pass score 70%)
