In this subject the student will acquire or practice a series of generic competences, desirable in any university degree, and specific, specific to agricultural engineering. Within the competency table that was designed for the degree, the following will be worked on:
Basic, general, specific and transversal competences:
• CG1 - Knowledge of basic, scientific and technological subjects that allow continuous learning, as well as an ability to adapt to new situations or changing environments.
• CT2 - Ability for reasoning and argumentation
• CT1 - Capacity for analysis and synthesis.
• CT6 - Ability to prepare and present an organized and understandable text.
• CT12 - Ability to solve problems through the integrated application of their knowledge.
· CG2 - Ability to solve problems with creativity, initiative, methodology and critical reasoning.
· HJ5 - Ability to know, understand and use the principles of civil works, facilities and infrastructure of green areas and protected areas. Electrification. Irrigation and drainage. Machinery for horticulture and gardening.
· A3 - Ability to know, understand and use the principles of Engineering of Agricultural Operations: Electrification of agricultural operations. Farm Equipment. Systems and technology irrigation. Agricultural constructions. Facilities for animal health and welfare. sustainable development; Market strategies and professional practice; Valuation of environmental assets.
· MC5 - Ability to know, understand and use the principles of the Engineering of the facilities: Rural electrification. Irrigation and drainage technology. Hydraulic works and installations. Facilities for animal health and welfare.
• CR7 - Ability to know, understand and use the principles of rural engineering: calculation of structures and construction, hydraulics, motors and machines, electrical engineering, technical projects.
The teaching of the subject will be distributed as follows:
Participatory lectures in which the theoretical concepts necessary for understanding the subject will be developed: 18 hours.
Competencies: Knowledge in basic subjects. Capability of analysis and synthesis
Problem solving, activities in seminars (small groups) with the aim of solving practical problems: 14 hours.
Laboratory or field practices, the practices (small groups) will be developed in the laboratory and in the computer rooms: 4 hours.
Competencies: Capacity for reasoning and argumentation. Ability to produce organized text
Tutoring in small groups (very small groups) each of the groups has three hours for the clarification of doubts that may exist in the different topics covered in the subject.
Likewise, the students have the possibility of attending individual tutoring whenever they think it appropriate and in the schedule that the teaching staff has set aside for this activity.
The attendance to lectures, seminars, practices and tutorials in small groups will be mandatory.
General competition Ability to know, understand and use the principles of Rural Engineering.
The evaluation system is based on the completion of a written test on the official dates established by the center, with practical and theoretical contents, at the end of the subject. This test will represent 70% of the final grade and a minimum of 3.5 points out of 10 is required in order to pass the subject.
A unique form will be prepared which will be available to the student in the practical part
It is also considered the realization of the memories of practices and laboratory tests and the resolution of practical cases and the topics developed by each student within the targeted activities (30%).
The student studies the whole subject every academic year
Students who have a waiver of class attendance under the conditions indicated in Order 1/2017 of the General Secretariat of the USC, to approve the subject must present and pass the exam on the official dates. This does not prevent them from performing other continuous assessment tasks
The evaluation of the competences is carried out as indicated:
Written test: CG7, CG8, CT2, CT1, CT6, CT12, CR7
Exercises and partial tests: CG7, CG8, CT6, CT12, CR7
Practices: CG7, CT6, CR7
Theoretical classes (expositions of large group): 18
Reading and preparation of topics: 32
Activities in seminars (interactive, with small groups): 6
Internships (with small groups): 8
Previous preparation of the practices and subsequent work on them: 18
Group tutorials (with very small groups): 5
Individual tutorials: 3
Preparation of evaluation tests: 19.5
Evaluation activities: 3
In total: 112.5 hours
- Attend all the activities of the subject both theoretical and practical.
- Use tutoring schedules to clarify doubts about the content developed in the classes.
- Make use of the new available technologies: Virtual USC or email that help improve teaching.
- Dedicate the weekly time planned for each component in an organized and systematic way.
- Consult the basic bibliography as the topics are developed and make use of the complementary bibliography to expand knowledge on the topics addressed in the directed activities.
- Actively participate in the development of all teaching activities.
IN THE SITUATION FOR THE BEGINNING OF THE COURSE
Expository and interactive blackboard teaching: For not exceeding the capacity in the classroom allowed by the rules in
the USC, the expository classes of theory and blackboard may be face-to-face, as long as the situation and the measures
are maintained rules imposed by the authorities.
Interactive laboratory teaching: Maintaining the safety distance of 1.5 m is
essential; mainly in wet laboratories. Therefore, if necessary, they must be
split the practice groups, to follow this basic rule. In case the split is already effective
in the subjects of the first semester (and some of the second) it was not enough to adjust to the capacity
reduced from the laboratory, a reduction in classroom practices should be applied (transforming
some on blackboard), in order to apply an expansion of the number of groups (with the consequent reduction
of the number of students by groups).
Exam: Like expository teaching, due to not exceeding the capacity of the classrooms, exams may
be face-to-face.
General rule: The use of a mask AND the maintenance of the safety distance will be mandatory in
either case.
IN FORECAST OF A CHANGE OF SITUATION
In the event of a change in the situation and in the regulations imposed by the authorities,
all theory classes (expository) and blackboard will be taught, by electronic means, Skipe, Teams,
or similar, to allow the student to attend teaching from home, having verified
previously that all of them have sufficient bandwidth.
Regarding the teaching of laboratory practices, as far as possible they will also become
blackboard classes, through exercises, videos or similar material, which will be shared through the
folder in the Matter cloud or, in case of exceeding the capacity, by means such as WeTransfer.com or
alike.
Only in those cases in which laboratory practices are essential and transcendental [as is
the case of cultivated materials], we will wait to see the evolution of events and, only if the Authority
Competently lift quarantine on time, they would be taught and qualified. Otherwise, no
being able to teach them, the evaluation of the subject should be done only with the teaching taught until the
official closing of the course, using telematic means also for the exam, which obviously cannot be
face-to-face.
However, voluntarily for both teachers and students, laboratory practices could
be recovered, after the end of the course, although without the possibility of evaluation, on the date and
conditions of mutual agreement. The latter, provided that the universities ensure the extension of the insurance
school and civil liability of their students.
