This subject is within the optional module covering specific competence "Ability to design control systems and industrial automation" (M07OP3). It is developed within the degree specific competence "Knowledge of basic materials and technologies, enabling to learn new methods and technologies and that will provide versatility to adapt to new situations" (G003).



At the same time, it involves basic competences like:

- MEC1: Students have demonstrated knowledge and understanding in a field of study that starts of the basis of general secondary education, and is typically at a level which, although it is supported by advanced textbooks, includes some aspects that involve knowledge of the forefront of their field of study.

- MEC5: Students have developed those skills needed 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: 30% (Pass score 40%)

Seminar/Laboratory: 70% (Continuous Assessment)

Disposition for Seminar Sessions: 10% (Independent work - Pass score 50%)

Laboratory Practices: 30% (Independent work - Pass score 50%)

Final work: 30% (Group work - Pass score 50%)



The renounce to the ordinary call or to the continuous assessment will be notified personally and in the format agreed at the start of the course, to the coordinator or teacher of the course, 2 weeks before the end of the quarter in which the subject is taught.



In case of renounce to the continuous assessment, a seminar/laboratory test will be made.

Students will be equipped with the informatics (software) needed for the development of the different works:
- Tools for hardware devices configuration
- Programming tools for the devices
- Programming tools for communications
