**This is a description of the theoretical contents that comprise the course. It does not represent a strict teaching sequence or timeline.

Practice

The practical sessions of the course comprise a total of 1.0 ECTS credits, mainly distributed in laboratory sessions where students will carry out hands-on activities directly related to course content: fluid statics, conservation equations, pressure distributions and forces on objects, ideal flow and correction coefficients, fluid viscosity, measuring equipment, internal flow and head losses, free-surface flows, etc.





TEACHING METHODOLOGIES AND FORMATIVE ACTIVITIES

Teaching methodologies

The proposed teaching methodologies are mainly based on:

  1. Lectures: in these classes the professor will present and explain the concepts mentioned above. This type of class is not unidirectional; interaction with students will be encouraged through participation and debate. Oral presentation may be supported by teaching materials (slides, videos, debates, etc.). Exercises related to the subject matter will also be solved. The methodologies used will be: Lectures (M1), Theory presentation and general examples (M2), Introductory activities (M3) and Conferences (M4).

  2. Practical classes: activities will be developed for applying knowledge to specific situations and acquiring basic and procedural skills related to the subject. This includes laboratory practices, problem-solving classes, etc. Two-hour laboratory sessions will be carried out, mainly in the experimental fluid mechanics lab. These will consist of a theoretical introduction and problem statement, followed by data acquisition by the students and an introduction to data analysis and interpretation. Students will later analyze the results in detail, comparing them with the theoretical concepts studied, and finally extract relevant conclusions from each session. The methodologies used will be: Practical activities (M6), Laboratories (M9), Computer rooms (M10), Exercise resolution (M11), Presentations/expositions (M12).

  3. Group tutorials, seminars and workshops: these will mainly consist of seminars based on topics directly or indirectly related to the subject and its applications. The methodologies used in these and in individual tutorials will be: Supervision of guided projects (M22), Seminars (M7), Debates (M8), Doubt clarification (M17), Comments on individual work (M21), Presentations/expositions (M12).

ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
Assesment systems (specific)

The final grade will be calculated according to the weighting table of the general evaluation system, provided that a minimum grade has been obtained in the written test associated with the evaluation of theoretical-practical concepts. The cut-off grade for considering and weighting all evaluation aspects will be established during the evaluation process based on the overall performance of all students in the current academic year.

The completion of practical sessions is mandatory. In general, failure to attend all laboratory practical sessions will result in the inability to take the final written test and therefore the absence of a grade.

Through the different evaluation instruments, competencies will be assessed, especially CC2 and CT4, as well as the corresponding outcomes (7 to 12). In particular, instruments S1, S3 and S4 will serve to evaluate CT4, while CC2 will be assessed through the combination of all instruments S1 to S4. Additionally, the different instruments will serve to assess the basic associated competencies CBR2, CBR3 and CBR4. The following specific weights are established for the evaluation systems: S1 (5%), S2 (75%), S3 (10%), and S4 (10%).
