Module/Subject matter
Módulo: Científico-Tecnológico Transversal
Materia: Tecnología eléctrica y electrónica
Contents
This subject will give the student an overall understanding of the generation, transmission, distribution and use of electrical energy.
The subject is structured in two main blocks: the first one focused on the generation, transmission and distribution of electrical energy. The second one is focused on the electric vehicle as a means of understanding electric motors, electric drives and batteries.
General proficiencies
- CG3: Knowledge in basic and technological subjects, which enables the students to learn new methods and theories and give them versatility to adapt to new situations.
- CG4: Ability to solve problems with initiative, decision-making, creativity, critical reasoning and to communicate and transmit knowledge, skills and abilities in the field of Industrial Engineering.
- CG10: Ability to work in a multilingual and multidisciplinary environment.
Specific proficiencies
- CE1: Knowledge about electric machines control, drives and their applications
- CE4: Knowledge about electric power systems and their applications.

| R1 to R9 | Final exam: Block A | 25 | Yes | 4/10 |
| R1 to R9 | Final exam: Block B | 15 | Yes | 4/10 |
In order to pass the subject, the average mark of the final exams must be equal or greater than 4.5/10.
Midterm partial tests and final exams can be retaken as a one only second-chance exam.
In case of not achieving the minimum requirements in the final exams, the overall mark for the subject will be:
- The value of the weighted average as shown in the table if the result is below 4.
- 4 if the average is above 4.
