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
Have knowledge and skills for the calculation, design and testing of machines
The subject Mechanisms and Machines I, centered in the analysis of mechanisms, presents an integral training in this field incorporating also the subject of synthesis of mechanisms. 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 Machine Design.
As a result of the learning activity the student will be able to achieve the following learning outcomes:
The development of the contents of the subject is based on the use of a methodology that integrates tools and methods used in professional practice. It is important to know, understand and apply the analysis and synthesis of mechanisms. The structure used for the study of the different mechanisms is based on the knowledge of the same through their identification and description, the deduction their operation, the understanding of the theoretical development of the bases for the calculation and the calculation in function of its specifications.
The face-to-face part of the course consists of 4 and 2 hours, alternating weekly, of theoretical classes in the classroom (large group) and two hours, fortnightly, of practical classes in laboratories (small group). In the theoretical classes, of expository and participatory character, concepts will be developed on analysis of position, speed, acceleration, statics and dynamics of mechanisms. In order to consolidate these concepts, exercises are carried out. In the laboratory practices students will work in groups of two or three people. In order to consolidate the topics worked on in the theoretical classes, in the practices works applied to elements of real machines are carried out.
During the course, students will have documentation of the topics developed in the theoretical and laboratory classes, and examples of solved exercises.
The following describes the evaluative learning activities that seek to help students acquire the Learning Outcomes of the subject and the teacher to obtain evidence that students achieved in them.
Evaluation activity 1: Written partial test 1 (Ex1).
Evaluation activity 2: Written partial test 2 (Ex2).
Evaluation activity 3: Laboratory Practices (Pr).
Evaluation activity 4: Work Report (Inf).
The calculation for the Final Grade (NF) of the subject is:
NF = 0,35 Ex1 + 0,35 Ex2 + 0,1 Inf + 0,2 Pr
