In this area the student will acquire or will undergo a series of generic skills, desirable in any university degree, and specific engineering in general or of the agronomic engineering in particular. Inside the box of powers that was designed for titration, will work the following:
Competencies:
Comp04. CG4 - Ability to apply the knowledge acquired to solve problems posed in situations by analysing the information coming from the environment and synthesising it efficiently to facilitate the process of making new decisions. decisions in companies and professional organisations in the agri-food sector.
Comp05. CG5 - Ability to transmit their knowledge and the conclusions of their studies or reports, using the media that communications technology allows and takes into account the knowledge of the receiving public.
Comp34. CEAI05 - Adequate knowledge and ability to develop and apply one's own technology in the technologies of the geospatial information.
Knowledge or content:
Con06. 5.3. - Complete application knowledge of materials, equipment and tools, engineering technology and processes and their Limitations.
Skills or abilities
H/D04. 2.4. - Ability to identify, formulate and solve engineering problems in emerging areas of their speciality.
H/D08. 4.2. - Ability to carry out bibliographic searches, consult and use databases and other sources of information with criteria. information, to carry out simulations with the aim of conducting research on complex topics in their speciality.
H/D11. 4.5. - Ability to research on the application of the most advanced technologies in agricultural engineering.
H/D12. 5.2. - Practical skills, such as the use of computer tools to solve complex problems complex engineering projects and design and conduct complex research.
H/D16. 7.1. - Ability to use different methods to communicate their conclusions, clearly and unambiguously, and the knowledge and the logical foundations that support them, to specialised and non-specialised audiences with the subject, in contexts national and international.
H/D19. 8.2. - Ability to acquire further knowledge autonomously.
- Lecture (8 hours) will be taught mainly through oral presentation with power point (Evaluated by exam).

- Internships in Computer Classroom: 8 hours of internships with specific software will be given. It will be carried out to application of methodologies and techniques seen in the theory, with application to concrete examples. The software to be used will be mainly SNAP for remote sensing and Zephyr for photogrammetry. The students will also have to carry out an individual practice report (evaluated as a work).
- Attendance to Conferences or other events; 3 hours (Evaluated as participation of the students in the classroom activities)
- Group tutorials (3 hours) in which they will try to solve the doubts raised in the subject.
For the continuous evaluation of the students:
- The realization of the obligatory group work will be made finalized to part of the subject of photogrammetry.
- The delivery of the report of the practices will be done simultaneously with the progress of the theory.
A final exam will be held on the official date set by the center. The completion of the internship is compulsory as well as the delivery of a final report of individual internships, the lack of delivery of this work will be cause for failure in the subject.
It will also be obligatory the accomplishment of an oral exposition in group on the topic of the subject indicated by the teacher.
For the calculation of the final grade it is necessary that the written test and the qualification of the work are higher than 4 points.

The delay in the delivery of the works according to the scheduled deadline will be penalized with 10% of the grade of the same.
The described system of evaluation will be used in the common opportunity as well as in the extraordinary opportunity of recovery.
Repeating students will be kept the practices and works for two consecutive courses.
Students who have been granted dispensation from attendance by the Title Commission according to the provisions of the Regulations on class attendance, should note that, although attendance is not essential, the oral test on the proposed topic will have to be done individually and defend it at least by videoconference. Participation may be assessed by means of a case study. They will have to study the subject and carry out the practicals independently and deliver the final report. The evaluation system will be the same as the rest of the students in the general system.
Regarding plagiarism, article 16 of the Normativa de Avaliación do Rendemento Académico e Revisión de cualificación sobre o plaxio nas probas de la USC will be followed.
The matter consists of 3 credits, it supposes a dead-weight capacity for the pupil of 75 hours.
