The course provides students with the knowledge of industrial manufacturing processes to help them to address problems associated with manufacturing. They also will acquire skills for selecting the appropriate manufacturing process and learn concepts about verification and inspection of products.

It is strongly recommended that students have acquired the following knowledge of subjects imparted in the first course of the Degree:

• Numerical Methods: numerical resolution of linear and non linear equations, resolution of linear systems, numerical differentiation and integration
• Mechanics and Thermodynamics: fundaments of kinematics (definition and calculation of velocities) and dynamics (concepts of force, work and energy)
• Graphic Expression: standardization, working drawings, dimensioning, tolerances, surface finish, threaded joints
• Chemistry: intermolecular forces, states of the matter, phase changes, reactivity principles of chemistry

Furthermore, the following basic knowledge is recommended for this course (previously studied in pre-University courses):

• Mathematics: trigonometry
• Industrial Technology: science of materials, principles of machines, automatic systems

General competences

At the end of the course, the students should have acquired the following general competences, included in the "Memory of Verification" of the Degree for the subject: CG1, CG2, CG3, CG4, CG5, CG6, CG7, CG8, CG9, CG10, CG11, CG12, CG13, CG14 y CG15.

Laboratory Practices

The laboratory practices are conceived as Project Based Learning, being its objective the analysis of the manufacture of a commercial product. The work is structured in the following activities: Product analysis, Disassembly, Sketching of components, Selection of materials, Selection of manufacturing processes and production resources, Verification of components, Assembly and Final checks.

Estimated work plan

CE: Lecture sessions; PA: Problem-solving sessions; PL: Laboratory practices; TG: Group Tutorials; SE: Evaluation sessions

Work load for the student

Methodology to apply in special cases

In the event of special cases that prevent teachers and/or students from attending classes in person, the different in-class or face-to-face teaching activities (lectures, classroom practices, laboratory practices and tutorials) will be carried out using telematic tools (Moodle, Microsoft Teams, ...).

Model of regular assessment

As ruled in the Regulation for the assessment of learning outcomes and competences acquired by the students, a student will pass the course provided that the final grade achieved is equal to or greater than 50% of the maximum possible grade. The final grade will be the result of the weighted combination of the assessment of the following items:

1. Final exam about theoretical contents and exercises: 70 %
   A written exam will be held at the date established in the official calendar published by EPIG. The exam will consist of two parts. In the first one, the student will answer to questions concerning the theoretical contents of the course. In the second part, the student will have to solve several exercises. To pass the course it will be necessary to obtain at least a score of 25% in each of the two parts of the exam: theoretical questions, on one side, and exercises, on the other. If the minimum grade is not achieved in any of the two parts, the final grade of the exam will be that of the part with lower grade.
    
2. Laboratory practices (20%)
   The students will have to develop a project in groups which will have to expose and defend in a public session. During practical sessions, the teacher will follow up the development of the project. The project quality as well as the quality of the oral presentation will be taken into account for evaluation. The grade achieved in this activity will be kept throughout the academic year (ordinary and extraordinary assessments).
    
3. Active participation of the student in the course (10%)
   The participation of students in both theoretical classes and exercise sessions, as well as the development of activities proposed by the faculty staff during the teaching period, will be considered in the assessment. The grade achieved will be kept throughout the academic year (ordinary and extraordinary assessments).
    

Model of differentiated assessment

In this type of assessment, students will attend the same Final exam, in the same dates and under the same conditions aforementioned in the model of regular assessment. The grade achieved in the exam will suppose the 70% ot the final grade of the course.

The other 30% of the grade will be asigned from the evaluation of a Project document, of similar characteristics of the project developed in Laboratory practices, but developed individually by the student. The scope and objectives of this project will be communicated to the student through the Virtual Campus two months before the date of the final exam corresponding to the ordinary assessment. The deadline for the delivery of the project document will be the date of that final exam. The grade achieved in this activity will be kept throughout the academic year (ordinary and extraordinary assessments).

Model of assessment in special cases

In the event of special cases that prevent attendance at the evaluation activities, these will be carried out telematically through the applications that the University of Oviedo makes available to teachers and students (Moodle, Microsoft Teams, ...). In any case, grades corresponding to the different evaluation activities will weigh as specified above in the Model of regular assessment and in the Model of differentiated assessment.
