B2_That students know how to apply their knowledge to their job or vocation in a professional way and have the skills they demonstrate by developing and defending arguments and solving problems within their area of study
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
EFB5_Knowledge of the structure, organization, operation and interconnection of information systems, the fundamentals of their programming and their application for solving engineering problems
T1_That students know a third language, which will be preferably English, with an adequate level of oral and written form, according to the needs of the graduates in each degree
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
The aim of this course is to study the basics of logical design, digital systems design and computer design. Thus, we will start with the basics of Boolean logic to end up designing the most important blocks of a microprocessor. The most important points are:
This subject has methodological and digital resources to make possible its continuity in non-contact mode in the case of being necessary for reasons related to the Covid-19. In this way, the achievement of the same knowledge and skills that are specified in this teaching plan will be ensured.
The Tecnocampus will make available to teachers and students the digital tools needed to carry out the course, as well as guides and recommendations that facilitate adaptation to the non-contact mode.
At a general level, this subject contributes to the following learning outcomes specified for the subject to which Architecture, operating systems and computer networks belong:
At a more specific level, at the end of the course the student must be able to:
Guided learning hours include:
This course, due to the situation generated by COVID, some of the large group sessions will be held in hybrid format: face-to-face and online (via streaming). This will allow students to rotate to face-to-face classes, respecting the maximum number of students per classroom imposed by the distance measures. When they are not in contact, they will be able to follow the class online from home.
With regard to internship sessions in smaller spaces (such as laboratories or studios), where appropriate, work will be carried out simultaneously in several spaces in order to ensure that the conditions established by the safety protocols are met.
T1: Introduction to computers
T2. Bases and numbering systems
T3. Combinational logic circuits
T4. Sequential systems
T5. Microprocessors
A series of eminently practical activities are made available to students, which are the basis of the learning activities of the subject. These activities will have to be solved by the students, sometimes in a non-contact way, following the instructions of the teachers and / or they will also be worked in class, either as examples in the theory sessions, or in laboratory sessions ( large or small groups). Although some of these activities could be optional (teachers will not individually verify the performance by students), they will be essential to achieve the theoretical and practical knowledge of the subject.
With the aim of gathering evidence of the achievement of the expected learning outcomes, the following activities of an evaluative nature will be carried out, related to the common, transversal and specific competences. The transversal competence associated with the subject of third language knowledge is worked from the documentary sources that the students have to consult (the great majority of the available documentation and that works is in English language)
In relation to the basic competences assigned to the subject, these are covered especially with regard to the aspects that are explained:
In relation to the specific competencies associated with the subject, these are covered especially for the aspects that are explained:
In relation to the transversal competences associated with the subject, these are covered especially with regard to the aspects that are explained:
In relation to the common competences associated with the subject, these are covered especially with regard to the aspects that are explained:
In order to pass (pass) the assessment activities, students must demonstrate:
Rules for carrying out the activities
Note: the transversal competence associated with the subject (third language knowledge) is worked from the documentary sources that students must consult, since all of them are in English.
All grades are required. Theoretical exams can be retaken.
For written tests the average of the tests must have a minimum grade of 5. If the grade is less than 5 then the final grade will be that of the written tests.
