PRACTICAL LESSONS

• Practical session 1: Introduction to  Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for Arduino
• Practical session 2: Applications for controlling analog/digital ports and timers
• Practical session 3: Applications based on interrupts
• Practical session 4: Serial and wireless communications
• Practical session 5: Data acquisition and control
• Practical session 6: Smart embeded systems based on sensors

The methodology followed in this subject are based on five main didactic resources:

1) Lessons and seminars. It means master lectures delivered by the professor where the active participation of the students is going to be boosted.

2) Practical lessons. These lessons will be delivered in the laboratory in groups where the maximum number of students per group will not be more than 20 people. These lessons will allow to put in practice the concepts which will be described through the theoretical lessons.

3) Resolution of the problems proposed in class. These problems will be focused on aspects dealt in theoretical and practical sessions.

4) Tutorial sessions in group or individual. This activity will allow to give a more personal answer to the doubts that the students will have along the academic year.

5) Exams resolution by which the students knowledge will be evaluated.

Students with special educational needs should contact the Student Attention Service (Servicio de Atención y Ayudas al Estudiante) in order to receive the appropriate academic support

The evaluation of the subject and the overall mark will be based on the marks obtained by students in three sections:

1) Attendance and active participation in classes which represents 15 % of the overall mark .  The student's active participation in the lectures and practical sessions will evaluated at this section.

2 ) Final exam which represents 35% of the final mark . It will be assessed the correct resolution of the theoretical and practical problems set .

 3) Practical sessions and class work which represents 50% of the final mark . It will be appreciated the correct design and assembly of electronic circuits designs proposed.

The first point described above is aimed to evaluate the progress of the students in order to achieve the competences CG4MMKTR and CT5. Moreover, the activity described in secction 1 is also suitable to evaluate the following results of the learning: RG4mMKTR and RT5

The second point described above is aimed to evaluate the progress of the students in order to achieve the competences CB6, CG4MMKTR and E12MMKTR . Moreover, the activity described in secction 2 is also suitable to evaluate the following results of the learning: RE12MM,RB6 and RT5

The third point described above is aimed to evaluate the progress of the students in order to achieve the competences CB6, CT5 and E12MMKTR. Moreover, the activity described in secction 3 is also suitable to evaluate the following results of the learning: RE12MM,RB6 and RT5
