Professional interest

El diseño, control técnico y mantenimiento de equipos e instalaciones electrónicas para comunicaciones es una de las principales salidas profesionales del ingeniero, tanto desde el punto de vista del ejercicio libre de la profesión como en la empresa privada. Para ser capaces de realizar estas tareas con éxito es imprescindible dominar los conceptos básicos impartidos en esta asignatura. Como son, la descripción de los equipos básicos de naturaleza electrónica capaces de realizar medidas de magnitudes y de generar señales electrónicas haciendo especial hincapié en sus limitaciones reales y los errores que dichos instrumentos aportan a las medidas con ellos realizadas. Asimismo, se expone los conceptos básicos de Instrumentación Virtual para poder desarrollar sistemas de instrumentación.

Methodology and grading

Methodology

Case studies: Learning through the analysis of actual or simulated cases in order to interpret and resolve them by employing various alternative solution procedures.
Cooperative learning: Develop active learning through cooperative working strategies among students and promote shared responsibility to reach group goals.
Lecture: Pass on knowledge and activate cognitive processes in students, encouraging their participation.
Problem-based learning: Develop active learning strategies through problem solving that promote thinking, experimentation, and decision making in the student.
Project-based learning: Realization of a project to solve a problem, applying acquired learning and promoting abilities related to planning, design, performing activities, and reaching conclusions.
Solving exercises and problems: Exercise, test, and apply previous knowledge through routine repetition.

Grading

La teoría y las prácticas de laboratorio pesan respectivamente un 80% y un 20% de la nota final de la
asignatura. Para promediar las notas de teoría y de prácticas será necesario que la nota de cada una de ellas por
separado, sea superior a 4 sobre 10.
La nota de la parte de teoría surgirá como resultado de la realización de un examen escrito, en las fechas indicadas en el calendario
oficial de exámenes. La asistencia a las clases prácticas es obligatoria, y la evaluación de las mismas se realizará a partir de la evaluación de las memorias entregadas y de la participación, actitudes y aptitud del alumno durante la realización de las mismas.
