Learning outcomes |
The main objectives are the application of the knowledge acquired throughout the course and the acquisition of knowledge at project level in Electrical and Computer Engineering, integrating in practice and in a guided and supervised way, the different scientific areas, in the development of a work/project, with some autonomy level.
The learning outcomes are:
Understand the different scientific areas of the Bachelor.
Integrate the acquired knowledge and solve new problems.
Understand models, equipment or software.
Understand project analytical and numerical methods.
Apply project economic concepts.
Apply tools to support or simulate electrical/electronic projects.
Elaborate project proposals.
Be able to communicate their knowledge to either specialists/non specialists, in a clear and unambiguous way.
Organize descriptive and special technical documents.
Identify and consider applied standards.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The curricular unit has a total of contact hours divided between theoretical and theoretic/practical hours. In the first ones, the concepts are taught in a tutorial way, and occasionally are invited experts in some specific fields to present a theme to the students. In the practical classes, the students develop some small projects or parts of a project, under the supervision of the teacher. The work developed by each student is presented to the colleagues, and submitted to discussion.
The students are evaluated continuously along the semester and according to the following model:
1. Developed project (considering complexity, autonomy, working methods and delivery deadlines), with a weight of 70% of the final grade;
2. Written report and discussion (considering organisation, spelling/grammatical quality, quality of figures and relevance of references), with a weight of 30% of the final grade.
Assessment by Exam implies the improvement of the developed project.
