Competencies / Learning Outcomes

Specific skills

  • S19. Carry out tests on machines and mechanical devices.

  • S29. Apply the capacity for critical analysis, self-knowledge, emotional intelligence and learning to learn to resolve situations that must be faced in the personal or professional sphere.

  • C15. Carry out the assigned work based on basic guidelines, deciding how much time to dedicate to each section, including personal contributions and expanding the sources of information indicated.

  • C26. Formulate a critical judgment regarding a reality presented using arguments, show collaborative work skills in various groups and recognize the right of people to participate in issues that affect them, also identifying the challenges of the circular economy and current solutions in the field of industrial technical engineering.

Presentation of the subject

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.

Activities and evaluation system

The calculation for the Final Grade of the subject is:

NF = 0,3 Ex1 + 0,3 Ex2 + 0,2 Vid + ​​0,2 Pr

  • NF: Final Note
  • Ex1: 1st Partial Exam.
  • Ex1: 2nd Partial Exam.
  • Vid: Integrator Video Note.
  • Pr: Average grade of practices.

Clarifications:

  • Minimum grade for each exam is 4 (four). In the event that any of the grades for Ex1 and Ex2 activities are below the minimum grade, the final grade for the subject will be limited to 4.
  • The minimum Pr grade is 4. If the Pr grade is below the minimum grade, the final grade of the subject will be limited to 4.
  • The minimum Vid grade is 4. If the Vid grade is below the minimum grade, the final grade of the subject will be limited to 4.

Recovery:

  • During the recovery period, only Ex1, Ex2 and Vid are reassessed. The rest of the activities are not recoverable.
  • The minimum marks established for all activities are maintained.
  • The previous calculations will be applied to obtain the final grade of the subject.
