Basic and general skills:
CB7, CB10, CG2, CG4
Transversal skills:
CT7, CT8, CT9
Specific skills:
CE1, CE3, CE5, CE6
DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPETENCIES:
CB7 - Students will know how to apply the acquired knowledge and their ability to solve problems in new or unfamiliar environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their area of study.
CB10 - Students will possess the learning skills that allow them to continue studying in a way that will be largely self-directed or autonomous.
CG2 - Students will acquire general knowledge in the operation of unmanned aerial systems.
CG4 - Students will acquire the knowledge to develop unmanned aerial systems or plan specific operations, depending on existing needs and apply existing technological tools.
CT7 - Organizational and planning skills.
CT8 - Capacity for analysis and synthesis.
CT9 - Critical reasoning ability and creativity.
CE1 - Knowledge about the main systems, on-board instruments and the control station of an unmanned aircraft, as well as their influence on safety.
CE3 - Ability to intervene and interact with other technical teams in planning with unmanned aerial systems.
CE5 - Ability to apply UAS data to obtain key information for the management of natural resources and agroforestry.
CE6 - Knowledge of geomatic principles, navigation, capture, interpretation and digital image processing, as well as existing good practices in the operation of unmanned aerial systems, for the use of UAS in the field of engineering, architecture and territory.
Knowledge and skills are developed through:
- 20h face-to-face theoretical classes where the expository topics are introduced.
- 22h interactive face-to-face sessions, conducting practices and/or seminars.
- Use of the virtual classroom, where the class material will be, as well as complementary activities.
- Group and individual tutorials will be face-to-face.
A) STUDENTS CURSING THE SUBJECT FOR THE FIRST TIME:
- CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT ACTIVITIES (EC): the student will have questionnaires that they will have to carry out in the virtual classroom, as well as practical activities for the application of the acquired knowledge, obtaining a grade out of a maximum of 10 points. To pass you must obtain a minimum of 4 points in this part.
SKILLS: CE1, CE3, CE5, CE6, CT7, CT8, CT9, CB7, CB10, CG2, CG4
- EXAM (EX): the exam will consist of theoretical and practical questions scoring a total of 10 points. To pass you must obtain a minimum of 4 points in this part.
SKILLS: CE1, CE3, CE5, CE6
- PRACTICES (PR): the student must deliver the practical activities that are being carried out, scoring with a total of 10 points. To pass you must obtain a minimum of 4 points in this part. In the case of a practical trip, attendance will be mandatory. The evaluation of this activity will be computed under this heading.
SKILLS: CT7, CT8, CT9, CE1, CE3, CE5, CE6
The final grade will correspond to the partial evaluations obtained according to the following weighting:
FINAL SCORE = 10% EC + 40% EX + 50% PR
The evaluation of the first and second opportunities will be carried out using the same criteria.
B) STUDENTS WHO DID NOT PASS THE COURSE IN PREVIOUS YEARS:
- If you have completed and pass the practical evaluation (PR> 4 points), you will only have to take the exam (EX) and the continuous assessment activities (EC) being evaluated with the same criteria as the students enrolled for the first time.
- If you do not have approved the practice from the previous year, you will have to do it in the current academic year.
- The qualification of the practical part will be kept for a maximum of one year from the completion of it.
In cases of fraudulent completion of exercises or tests, the provisions of the Regulations for the evaluation of academic performance of students and the review of qualifications will apply.
The study times established in this course are:
- Theoretical lectures: 20 hours
- Interactive classes (practicals/seminars): 22 hours.
- Gupal tutorial: 3 hours
- Personal study: 100 hours (include reading and homework finishing)
- Attendance at all theoretical and practical sessions.
- Daily consultation of the virtual campus.
- Attendance at group tutorials to discuss, clarify or resolve any doubts.
DISPENSE OF ASSISTANCE:
Students who are granted this exemption must follow the course through the Virtual Campus, making all the necessary deliveries to obtain a positive grade in EC, PR and EX respectively.
