Competences and learning outcomes that the student acquires
Competences
Basic:
CB6: Possess and understand knowledge that provides a basis or opportunity to be original in the development and / or application of ideas, often in a research context.
CB7: That students know how to apply the acquired knowledge and their problem-solving capacity in new or little-known settings within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their area of study;
CB8: That students are able to integrate knowledge and face the complexity of formulating judgments based on information that, being incomplete or limited, includes reflections on the social and ethical responsibilities linked to the application of their knowledge and judgments;
CB9: That the students know how to communicate their conclusions –and the ultimate knowledge and reasons that support them– to specialized and non-specialized audiences in a clear and unambiguous way;
CB10: That students possess the learning skills that allow them to continue studying in a way that will have to be largely self-directed or autonomous.
General:
CG2: Know how to apply knowledge to problem solving in the multidisciplinary field of research and innovation related to nanoscience and nanotechnology.
CG3: Be able to identify scientific theories and models and suitable methodological approaches for the design and evaluation of nanostructured materials.
CG5: Have knowledge and skills to participate in research projects and scientific or technological collaborations, in interdisciplinary contexts and with a high component of knowledge transfer.
CG7: Be able to safely use nanomaterials safely, respecting current regulations on the prevention of occupational hazards and waste treatment.
Transverse:
CT2: Know how to develop collaborative work in multidisciplinary teams.
CT3: Use Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) as a tool for the transmission of knowledge, results and conclusions in specialized fields in a clear and rigorous way.
Specific:
CE01 - Know the terminology of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology
CE05 - Evaluate the relationships and differences between the properties of materials on a macro, micro and nano scale
CE06 - Know the main techniques for characterizing nanostructured materials.
CE08 - Know the main applications of nanomaterials in various fields of knowledge such as physics, chemistry, engineering, biomedicine, biotechnology, or art, among others.
- Theoretical classes with student participation.
- Discussion of practical cases in seminars with the support of computer methods and a blackboard.
- Problem-based learning
- Oral presentations of previously prepared topics, followed by debate with the participation of students and teachers
- Attendance at conferences or round tables
A) Expository classes: The teacher will present in class those aspects of the lesson that he considers essential for the understanding and development of the activities that will be proposed. During the expository sessions the teacher will use PowerPoint slides that serve as a script to follow the schedule. Usually these classes will follow the contents of a proposed Reference Manual.
B) Interactive classes - Seminars: Theoretical / practical class in which applications of the theory, problems, exercises are proposed and solved ... The student is expected to actively participate in these classes in different ways: preparation of group work, delivery of exercises to the teacher (some of those proposed in problem bulletins that the teacher delivers to the students in good time); solving exercises in the classroom, etc.
The evaluation will be made attending to two aspects:
• Continuous evaluation: 40% (Activities proposed by the teacher in seminars and tutorials, controls and evaluation tests, etc.)
• Final exam: 60%
The continuous evaluation grade will only be obtained through "active" participation in the activities that make up said evaluation (class presentations, class problem solving, ...), in order to demonstrate that the knowledge set for each of the such activities.
The final exam will include theoretical questions and problems related to the subject included in the subject's program, regardless of whether the subject was worked in the expository, interactive or practical classes. The exam will be graded on a total of 10 points.
In cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the provisions of the Regulations for evaluating student academic performance and reviewing grades will apply.
