Electronics

Justification
This subject is common to industrial branch degrees, and develops the competence CE-RI-05 "Knowledge of fundamentals of electronics", contained in the guidelines of the ministerial order CIN/351/2009, February 9th, which establishes the requirements for the verification of the official university degrees that qualify for the exercise of the Industrial Technical Engineer profession.

Graduates in Industrial Technology Engineering must have specific knowledge about electronics in order to carry out projects from the very beginning, dealing specifically with:

Design, analysis, assembly and measurement of analog electronics basic circuits, including corresponding instrumentation
Design, analysis, assembly and measurement of digital electronics basic circuits, including corresponding instrumentation

ASSESSMENT SYSTEM  

Final grade will be the sum of the grades obtained in each developed competence, each of them with the following weight:

Final grade = SC1 grade (20%) + SC2 grade (5%) + SC3 grade (60%) + SC4 grade (15%).

The grade of each specific competence (SC) is obtained from activities and tests done in the classroom and in the laboratory, in a training process where assessment will be continuous.

In order to pass the subject by continuous assessment, the student must get at least 50% in each competence.

If the student does not pass by continuous assessment, 75% of this grade will be recoverable in all the competences, by means of similar tests and activities to those held during the course, which will take place in the final exam.

Assessment system is the same for the ordinary and the extraordinary assessments.

The grade obtained in the different competences is kept until the extraordinary assessment, but not for the following year.
