Competencies / Learning Outcomes

Basic skills

  • B1_That students have demonstrated knowledge and understanding in a field of study that is based on general secondary education, and is accustomed to finding at a level that, although with the support of advanced textbooks, also include some aspects that involve knowledge from the forefront of your field of study

  • B3_Students have the ability to gather and interpret relevant data (usually within their area of ​​study), to make judgments that include reflection on relevant social, scientific or ethical issues

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

Specific skills

  • EFB1_Ability to solve mathematical problems that may arise in engineering. Ability to apply knowledge about: linear algebra, differential and integral calculus, numerical methods, numerical algorithms, statistics and optimization

  • EFB2_Understanding and mastery of the concepts of fields and waves and electromagnetism, theory of electrical circuits, electronic circuits, physical principle of semiconductors and logic families, electronic and photonic devices, and their application for solving engineering problems

Transversal competences

  • T2_That students have the ability to work as members of an interdisciplinary team either as one more member, or performing management tasks in order to contribute to developing projects with pragmatism and a sense of responsibility, making commitments taking into account the available resources

Presentation of the subject

It is a Physics course with the purpose of familiarizing students with the concepts and physical principles related to information and communication technologies.

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

Activities and evaluation system

70% Tests

Partial 1 (35%): to pass this test a minimum grade of 5 must be obtained. Students who have passed this test are released from the subject for the final exam.

Final (35%): It will consist of two parts:

  1. Those who have failed Partial 1 will have to take the entire Final exam, in which case it will count for 70% of the subject.
  2. Those who have passed Part 1 will only have to take the second part of the Final exam. A grade of 4/10 is required on the second exam in order to average with the grade on the first exam.

10% Presentation of individual exercises. This part is not recoverable.

20% Presentation of internship reports. This part is not recoverable and attendance at laboratory practices is mandatory.

The subject will be approved if the weighted sum of all the tests and the delivery of exercises is equal to or greater than 5. Otherwise, they will go to recovery with the whole subject.

Any form of academic fraud will be sanctioned in accordance with the center's assessment regulations. If signs of fraud are detected, including the improper use of generative artificial intelligence tools, the subject's teaching staff may call the student for an individual interview with the aim of verifying their authorship.
