Three-hour classes with a theoretical introduction of the basic elements for each activity, followed by practical work by the students.

The virtual platform used for communication with students will be the UAB Moodle Virtual Campus.

Own laptop is required.

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted in this course as an integral part of the work, provided the final result demonstrates a substantial contribution from the student in terms of analysis and personal reflection. Students must clearly identify which parts have been generated using AI technologies, specify the tools used and provide a critical reflection on the influence of these technologies on the process and final outcome of the activity. Failure to be transparent about the use of AI will be considered academic dishonesty and may result in a penalty to the mark awarded for the activity, or more severe sanctions in more serious cases.

Annotation: within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

a) Planned assessment process and activities

The evaluation activities of the subject are detailed below, with their percentage of weight in the final grade:

• Activity 1 (10%). Implementation of a data acquisition system.
• Activity 2 (10%). Data recording system.
• Activity 3 (10%). Online monitoring.
• Activity 4 (10%). Control loop implementation.
• Activity 5 (15%). SCADA.
• Activity 6 (15%). Programmable logic controller.
• Activity 7 (30%). Oral defence of the work done.

To apply the calculation of the final mark, a minimum mark of 4 in activity 7 is required.

If this criterion is not met, the maximum final mark for the course will be 4.0.

Failure to attend class when taking assessment tests will result in a zero for the activity, with no possibility of recovery.

b) Scheduling of assessment activities

The schedule of assessment activities will be given on the first day of the course and will be published on the Virtual Campus.

c) Recovery process

Students may sit the resit provided they have submitted a set of assignments representing at least two-thirds of the module's total mark.

Assignments 1 to 6 that have been failed may be resubmitted, and Activity 7 must also be re-taken. A minimum mark of 4.0 is required for Activity 7. If this criterion is not met, the maximum final mark for the module will be 4.0.

In agreement with the coordination of the Degree and the management of the School of Engineering, the following activities cannot be recovered: evaluative activities of any kind in which the student has committed an irregularity (copying, plagiarising, allowing copying).

d) Procedure for the revision of grades

For each assessment activity, a place, date and time of review will be indicated where students can review the activity with the teacher. In this context, claims maybe made about the grade of the activity, which will be evaluated by the lecturer responsible for the subject. If the student does not attend this review, the activity will not be reviewed later.

e) Grades

Honours. It is the decision of the lecturers responsible for the subject to award an honours degree (MH). UAB regulations state that MH may only be awarded to students who have obtained a final grade of 9.00 or higher. Up to 5% of the total number of students enrolled may be awarded MH.

A student will be considered non-assessable (NA) if he/she has not appeared in a set of activities whose weight equals a minimum of two thirds of the total grade of the subject.

f) Irregularities on the part of students, copying and plagiarism

Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures that may be considered appropriate, irregularities committed by the student that may lead to a variation in the grade of an evaluation act will be graded with a zero. Therefore, copying, plagiarism, cheating, allowing copying, etc. in any of the assessment activities will result in a zero. Assessment activities graded in this way and by this procedure will not be recoverable.

g) Evaluation of repeating students

There are no changes with respect to new students.

h) Single assessment

This subject does not offer a single assessment.
