BASIC AND GENERAL COMPETENCES
CG03 - Ability to conduct planning and design studies of energy solutions in the field of renewable energy and sustainability and climate change.
CG06 - Knowledge of current technologies and tools in the field of renewable energies, sustainability and climate change.
CB6 - Possess and understand knowledge that provides a basis or opportunity to be original in the development and application of ideas, often in a research context.
CB7 - Know how to apply the knowledge acquired and your ability to solve problems in new or little-known environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to your area of study.
CB8 - Ability to integrate knowledge and cope with the complexity of making judgements from information that, being incomplete or limited, includes reflections on the social and ethical responsibilities linked to the application of their knowledge and judgements.
CB9 - To know how to communicate conclusions, knowledge and ultimate reasons that sustain them to specialized and non-specialized audiences in a clear and unambiguous way.
CB10 - Possess learning skills that enable continued study in a way that will be largely self-directed or autonomous.
TRANSVERSAL COMPETENCES
CT10 - Capacity for analysis and synthesis
CT11 - Ability to apply knowledge to problem solving involving economic, environmental and social variables
CT13 - Ability to analyze market demands, needs and expectations
SPECIFIC COMPETENCES
CE02 - Develop skills in the field of design, implementation, operation and maintenance of efficient, renewable and sustainable energy facilities, applying modelling, planning and optimisation tools.
CE03 - To advise on the development of projects related to renewable energies and energy sustainability, to analyse, from a technical, economic and social point of view, energy projects and to propose specific and innovative solutions for companies and individuals.
CE10 - Understand and establish methodologies for sustainable energy diagnosis, management and planning through the valuation of own energy resources in different types of settlements and apply this type of procedure in simple cases.
CE17 - Plan and manage energy resources and materials for energy in production and storage processes.
Development of the theoretical agenda in face-to-face classes in which exhibition classes, seminars-colloquium, and problem solving. In parallel, seminars can be developed during the tutorials, in other sessions with the Teacher and other training activities that may arise.
The theoretical part is developed with the help of different audiovisual media that generate an attractive proposal of the contents and facilitate the understanding them. Computer programs and the Internet may be used during the development of the course.
All the tasks of the student (study, work, reading) will be oriented by the academic staff in tutorials that may be of the classroom type or through USC-virtual media.
In all cases, the tools available in the USC-virtual will be used to provide students with the necessary material for development of the subject (presentations, notes, supporting texts, bibliography, videos, etc.) and to establish a fluid communication between students.
The final rating shall be the result of the valuation of:
* Final test (45 %).
* Performance of work and/or activities (45%). Skills in the search for material for the development of the themes, the ability of synthesis in the elaboration of works and the mastery of the topics. Work shall be carried out individually.
* Individual tutoring (10 %).
Different tests may be carried out for verification to obtain technical/practical knowledge and acquisition of skills and attitudes.
Students who did not take the exam or did not submit to the evaluation of some obligatory activity will get the grade of "not presented".
For cases of fraudulent exercise or probation, the provisions of the "Performance Assessment Rules shall apply academic students and grade review".
Article 16. Fraudulent exercise or testing.
The fraudulent performance of some exercise or proof required in the evaluation of a subject will imply the qualification of suspension in the call disciplinary process that can be followed against the student. It is considered fraudulent, between other, the carrying out of plagiarized works or obtained from sources accessible to the public without reworking or reinterpretation and without citations to the authors; and from sources.
In general, different tests may be carried out to obtain technical/practical knowledge and acquire skills and attitudes.
