Skills


Basic skills
  • B1_Students have demonstrated knowledge and understanding in a field of study, based on general secondary education, and are accustomed to finding a level that, while supported by advanced textbooks, includes also some aspects that involve knowledge coming from the vanguard of his field of study

     

     

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

     

  • B5_That students have developed those learning skills necessary to undertake further studies with a high degree of autonomy

     

Specific skills
  • E9_Know the basics of science, technology and chemistry of materials. Understand the relationship between microstructure, synthesis or processing and material properties

     

  • E13_Know and use the theory of machines and mechanisms

     

  • E14_Know and use the principles of material resistance

     

Description


The subject of Mechanical Systems refers to the statics and dynamics of rigid bodies where the fundamental principles of general mechanics applied to the behavior of solids are explained, both in a situation of static equilibrium and in dynamic movement of translation and rotation. These principles are related to Newton's laws applied to forces and moments.

Fields of application within engineering are related to the design of structures, machines and mechanisms.

The classroom (physical or virtual) is a safe space, free of sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic and discriminatory attitudes, either towards students or towards teachers. We trust that together we can create a safe space where we can make mistakes and learn without having to suffer prejudice from others.

Evaluation system


The evaluation system consists of three parts identified as follows. An exam at the end of the term where all the content of the subject is assessed. Laboratory practices are carried out throughout the term and are assessable. A problem solving session is held individually at mid-term.

The final grade is the weighted sum of the final exam, the laboratory practices and the individual problem session, with the following weights:

FINAL GRADE = EXAM x 0,6 + PRACTICES x 0,2 + PROBLEMS x 0,2

There will be an extraordinary exam recovery session for all students who do not pass the subject in the ordinary assessment. 

The grade of this recovery will replace the exam grade obtained in the ordinary assessment.
