The general methodological approach of the subject is based on the principle of multivariate strategies, which aims to facilitate active participation and construction of the learning process by students. In this sense, full-group master classes will be proposed, and practical activities and monitoring of student work will be proposed in small groups.

Specifically, the training activities included in this subject are the following:

Theory classes

Exposition and discussion of the fundamental concepts of the subject (full group).

Problem classes

Resolution and discussion of exercises that allow the theoretical concepts of the subject to be reinforced (full group).

Tool introduction sessions

Basically, introductory sessions will be held on:

• Lego Mindstorms programming environment: This environment is needed for the development of the course project.
• Project planning computer tool, through which the course project will be planned.

These activities will be carried out mainly in small groups. The two computer applications that are needed will be provided from the subject.

Lectures

During the course (in class hours of the full group) some lectures will be scheduled on professional activities in the aeronautical sector (which you could opt for as Graduates of this degree) that will be taught by professionals in the sector.

Practical work (project)

The central work of the subject is the development in work teams of a small project for which, additionally, a report must be written and an oral presentation made. Through the development of this project, the aim is to put into practice the problem-solving method typical of engineering and thus work on the skills associated with the objectives of the subject.

For this activity, follow-up sessions will be held in small groups. Additionally, 3 sessions of 2 hours have been planned for the project presentations (one for each practical group).

Use of Artificial Intelligence Technologies

Restricted use: For this subject, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted exclusively in support tasks, such as bibliographic or information searches, text correction or translations, or in the search for techniques that allow solving certain specific parts of an activity, provided that the student can understand what the AI ​​technology provides and integrate it into their own process of resolving or developing the activity. In no case is the use of AI technologies permitted to directly obtain the solution to a proposed activity. For this reason, when presenting their proposed solution to an assessable activity, the student must clearly identify which parts have been generated with this technology, specify the tools used and include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and the final result of the activity. The lack of transparency in the use of AI in this assessable activity will be considered a lack of academic honesty and may lead to a partial or total penalty in the grade of the activity, or greater sanctions in 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.

This subject does not provide for the single assessment system.

FINAL GRADE = CE1 x 0.25 + CE2 x 0.25 + CE3 x 0.5

CE1: Continuous assessment grade.

CE2: Written exam grade.

CE3: Project grade.

If any of the assessment components (CEi) has a value lower than 4, the grade for the subject will be Failed.

The grade of Not Presented will only be obtained if no assessable element is submitted.

Details of the continuous assessment:

It will have two components:

• Formative assessment: It consists of a set of tests that students will take individually. They will basically be conceptual understanding questionnaires that will be taken based on a reading of the notes for each topic, prior to working on the topic in class. These tests will not be graded, they serve the teacher to plan the theory sessions and reinforce the explanation of those points that require it.
• Summative assessment: It consists of a set of tests that will be carried out individually, after the class work of each topic, in order to assess the level of achievement of the content of the same. These tests will be graded.

The continuous assessment (CA) grade will have two components:

• Number of tests (both formative and summative assessment) submitted (25% of the CA grade).
• Overall grade (arithmetic mean) of the summative assessment tests (75% of the CA grade).

Details of the project grade:

It will have two components:

• Overall assessment of the work (60% of the grade). This grade will be applied equally to each member of the team.

• Individual assessment of the work (40% of the grade)

Not presented and Honors Registration

• The grade of Not Presented will only be obtained if no assessable element is submitted.
• Honors. Awarding an honors grade is the decision of the teaching staff responsible for the subject. UAB regulations indicate that MHs may only be awarded to students who have obtained a final grade equal to or greater than 9.00. Up to 5% of MHs may be awarded to the total number of students enrolled in the subject.

Recovery of failed activities

In general (according to UAB academic regulations), the student may present for resit provided that he or she has presented for a set of activities that represent a minimum of two-thirds of the total grade for the subject.

In particular:

• If during the normal period of completion of the project the grade is suspended, the team will have the possibility of correcting the errors detected, during the subject resit period. In this case, the maximum final grade for the project that can be chosen will be 8. Under the UAB academic regulations, mentioned in the introductory paragraph of this section, since the project has a weight of 50% in the overall grade of the subject, a student who has not registered in any project team does not have the right to re-evaluate this element and, in application of the evaluation method, would have the subject failed.
• Regarding the written exam, there is a re-evaluation exam for students who have failed, or have not presented themselves to the exam of the regular call, as long as they comply with the UAB academic regulations, mentioned in the introductory paragraph of this section. The maximum grade that can be chosen for the re-examination exam will be 8.
• Continuous assessment activities do not have re-examination.

Repeating students

The evaluation method for repeating students will be the same as for the rest of the students.

Academic regulations on copying in assessment activities

Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, and in accordance with current academic regulations, irregularities committed by the student that may lead to a variation in the grade of an assessment act will be graded with a zero. Therefore, copying or allowing copying of a practice or any other assessment activity will imply failing it with a zero, and if it is necessary to pass it to pass, the entire subject will be suspended. Assessment activities graded in this way and by this procedure will not be recoverable and, therefore, the subject will be directly suspended without the opportunity to recover it in the same academic year.
