The teaching methodology will consist of three types of activities:

• Master classes in the classroom. In these classes the teacher will present and explain the concepts mentioned above. Likewise, exercises related to the subject will be solved, so that the CB2R, CB3R, CB4R, CB5R, CEM6, CT1, CT4 and CT6 skills will be developed.
• Laboratory sessions: a total number of five laboratory sessions of two hours each will be carried out. These will consist of a theoretical introduction, followed by data collection by the students. The students will later analyze the results, comparing them with the theoretical concepts studied and, finally, they will make an individual final report of each session. In this activity, the CEM6 and CT1 skills will be developed.
• The collective tutorial sessions will consist of non-face-to-face virtual sessions of discussion and sharing of doubts of the students during the development of the work of the subject. The skills to be developed are CT1 and CT6.

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

There will be a written test where the student's skills in solving practical cases will be evaluated, as well as the knowledge of the key concepts related to incompressible fluid machines and their use in fluid facilities. A minimum grade must be obtained in this written test to pass the course. The competencies evaluated through this aspect are the CB2R and CB5R.

The student must present throughout the course the set of works and activities, where the analytical calculations, formulas used and operation of the facilities/pumps/turbines analyzed are detailed. The capacity for synthesis, drafting and clarity of the document will be positively valued. The competencies evaluated through this aspect are CB2R, CB3R, CB4R, CT4 and CT6. This block will serve as a continuous evaluation and will allow the passage to other scenarios if necessary.

The student must have attended all the laboratory practice sessions in order to take the written test. A report will be delivered to the teacher, with which the CB3R, CEM6 and CT1 skills will be evaluated.

The student's aptitudes, class attendance and tutorials (CEM6 competence) will be valued positively.

The learning outcomes expected and evaluated through all these aspects are 33-37.

1) METHODOLOGY AND ACTIVITIES

In general, in the multimodal or mixed scenario, the modality will be "50% rotating face-to-face". Classes will be taugh in the classromm to half of the students and broadcasted by videoconference to the subgroup of students who is not attending class that week. Practical lessons will be 100% face-to-face, while collective tutoral sessions may be 50% rotating or virtual face-to-face. Individual tutoring may be both in person and via videoconference.

The activities are summarized below together with the corresponding methodology:

(*) The Center may establish a different attendance percentage depending on the number of students and capacity of the classroom / laboratory according to sanitary measures.

2) EVALUATION SYSTEM

The evaluation system contains the same aspects and percentages as the 100% face-to-face case, in order to give certainty to the students enrolled in the subject. This decision is reinforced by the fact that the training methodologies and activities will not undergo any change with respect to the 100% face-to-face case.

The final exam will be preferably face-to-face, whenever the sanitary circumstances allow it.

The detailed information of the evaluation is the same as in the face-to-face scenario.

In summary , both for the ordinary and extraordinary call , the evaluation system will be :

The qualification system will be governed by the provisions of RD 1125/2003 of September 5, which establishes the European credit system and the qualification system for official university degrees.

3) RESOURCES

The activities and the methodology do not undergo any modification, with the exception of the retransmission of the classes in the 50% face-to-face modality, in which the teaching would be carried out in part virtual (in its synchronous modality), with no variation in the 50 % presence. In this sense, the methodology would remain the same, that is, classes using presentations, whiteboards, seminars, etc. , but they would in turn be relayed through virtual sessions through Google Meet or some similar platform to the 50% of students in virtual format.

The practical sessions will be carried out in a 100% face-to-face format in the corresponding laboratory, so the resources are those used on a regular basis. If not possible due to health restrictions, they will be performed in "50% face-to face rotative" format .

1) METHODOLOGY AND  ACTIVITIES

The activities do not undergo any change with respect to the 100% face-to-face case , except that they go into virtual mode.

2) EVALUATION SYSTEM

The evaluation system of the subject will be the same as that contemplated in the 100% face-to-face case and the mixed one, in order to give certainty to the students enrolled in the subject and according to what is established in the memory of the corresponding grade. This decision is reinforced by the fact that the training methodologies and activities will not undergo any change with respect to the 100% face-to-face case.

In this case, the exam will be done online.

The detailed information of the evaluation is the same as in the face-to-face and mixed scenario .

In summary, both for the ordinary and extraordinary call, the evaluation system will be:

The qualification system will be governed by the provisions of RD 1125/2003 of September 5, which establishes the European credit system and the qualification system for official university degrees.

3) RESOURCES

Although the training activities or the methodology have not undergone any modification, the teaching is carried out virtually (in its synchronous mode). In this sense, the methodology remains the same as in the face-to-face case: presentations, whiteboard, seminars, etc., but through virtual sessions on Gogle Meet or similar platforms.
