Teaching staff: 

Pablo Alberto Genovese

Teaching languages

  • Spanish

Skills

Basic skills

  • B2-That the students know how to apply their knowledge to their job or vocation in a professional way and have the skills that are demonstrated through the elaboration and defense of arguments and the resolution of problems within their area of 'study

  • B4_That students can convey information, ideas, problems and solutions to both specialized and non-specialized audiences

     

Specific skills

  • Have knowledge and skills for the calculation, design and testing of machines

Description

The subject deals with fundamental issues regarding the conditions and regulations of machine design. It is a key element for the consolidation of learning, as it allows students to apply in the design of machine elements that has been worked on in other subjects. On the other hand, it is a key source of theoretical and applied knowledge for the professional practice of the mechanical engineer with regard to the conditions and regulations of machine design.

Evaluation system

The calculation for the Final Grade (NF) of the subject is:

NF = 0,35 Ex1 + 0,35 Ex2 + 0,1 + Inf + 0,3 Pr

  • NF: Final Note
  • Ex1: 1st Partial Examination (35%).
  • Ex1: 2nd Partial Examination (35%).
  • Inf: Work Report Grade (10%) = (Inf1 + Inf2 + Inf3) / 3
  • Pr: Practice Notes (20%) = (P1 + P2 + P3 + P4 + P5 + P6 + P7 + P8 + P9 + P10) / 10

Clarifications:

  • The minimum grade for each of the exams is 3,5. In the event that any of the grades for the Ex1 and Ex2 activities is below the minimum grade, the final grade for the subject will be limited to 4.
  • Minimum mark of practices (Pr) is 4. In case the mark of Practices is below the minimum mark, the final qualification of the asignatura will remain limited to 4.
  • Minimum grade of Work Report (Inf) is 4. In case the grade of Work Report is below the minimum grade, the final grade of the subject will be limited to 4.

Recovery:

  • It will be possible to recover all the evaluation acts separately (1st Partial Examination, 2nd Partial Examination and Practices).
