The contents of this subject are intended to contribute to Sustainable Development Goal 4.4: related to the development of skills for access to employment.

The expository classes in large groups (M1, M3 and M4) will be dedicated to explain the contents of fundamentally theoretical character related to Modern Industrial Control.

The hours dedicated to practical classes will be divided into laboratory practices (M9), discussions (M8), seminars (M7), as well as the development of practical activities and exercise resolution (M6 and M11); some of the practical activities could be based on the analysis of processes with computer tools. Finally, some hours will be dedicated to the presentation and defense of a theoretical-practical work previously developed by the student and related to the topics integrated in the Block of "Instrumentation in Industrial Processes".

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

To pass the subject, both in the ordinary and extraordinary exams, students must pass a final face-to-face theoretical-practical exam that will account for 50% of the total weight of the evaluation. The evaluation of the practical part of the subject will be carried out through the delivery of a report (qualified as apt or not) in relation to the work performed in the teaching laboratory of the Department, as well as the completion of a group work (or individual, if it is considered more convenient) related to the syllabus of the subject; the student will have to defend this work in front of the teacher and its weight in the final evaluation will be 20%. Carrying out the proposed activities during the semester will account 20% of the final grade for the subject. Finally, attendance will be controlled, assessing participation and active attitude in class, which will mean 10% of the final grade. To pass the subject, the student must obtain a final overall grade equal to or greater than 5.0 points.

This will allow evaluating the learning results: Resul-13 and Resul-14.

The achievement, by the students, of the aforementioned learning outcomes, contributes to the acquisition of the competences: CB2, CB3, CB4, CB5 and CEQ4.

Note 1: To pass the subject, in general, the score obtained in the theoretical exam must be at least 4.5. If this value is not exceeded, the score obtained in the evaluation corresponding to the practical activities of the subject will not count in the final grade of the same, with which the final grade of the subject will coincide, in this case, with the mark obtained in the theoretical exam.

Note 2: The previous evaluation system would be applied to those students who can attend class regularly (continuous evaluation system). However, there are specific cases of students who cannot follow the aforementioned system. In that case, after justification of the impossibility of adapting to the continuous evaluation system, the student would be evaluated exclusively through the written exam, carried out within the calendar established for the final exams, and would pass the subject by obtaining a minimum grade equal to 5.0 points. .

This evaluation system will apply both ordinary and extraordinary exams.

In any case, the evaluation system will be subject to the provisions of the Regulations for Academic Regime and Student Evaluation of the University of Jaén.

SCENARIO : Groups of students below the limited capacity in the classroom.

The teaching methodology to be used in the development of the teaching-learning process for this subject as well as the different activities to be performed in the practical sessions are:

The expository classes in groups (master classes, introductory activities, and conferences when the situation allows it) will be dedicated to explain contents of fundamentally theoretical character, related to the Modern Industrial Control. They will allow the student to reach the competences CB2, CB3, CB4, CB5 and CEQ4.

On the other hand, the practical activities (problem solving, practical exercises, seminars, discusions, exhibitions and laboratory practices), will allow the student to achieve the competences CB2, CB3, CB4 and CEQ4.

Theoretical classes will be generally supported by the use of different didactic and audiovisual resources such as: cannon, blackboard, computer, internet connection, etc. In the laboratory practices, specific process control teaching equipment will be used. The didactic resources available in the UJA library, both in paper and electronic format, as well as other resources available on the Internet, will be used as support teaching materials.

In the case of online tutoring, this work will be carried out using tools such as e-mail, teaching platform (PLATEA), google meet or any other videotelephony service, etc.

The evaluation criteria will be the same as those established in the first scenario, corresponding to a face-to-face teaching, both for the ordinary and extraordinary call. This system will allow the evaluation of the learning results Result-13 and Result-14.

________________________________________________

In the multimodal and/or non face-to-face scenario, when appropriate, the teaching staff involved in teaching reserves the right not to give consent for the capture, publication, retransmission or reproduction of their speech, image, voice and explanations, in the exercise of their teaching functions, within the scope of the University of Jaén.

In this case, the teaching methodology to be used in the development of the teaching-learning process for this subject as well as the different activities to be developed in the practical sessions are:

The expository classes in groups (master classes, introductory activities, and conferences, when the situation allows it) will be dedicated to explain contents of fundamentally theoretical character, related to the Modern Industrial Control. They will allow the student to reach the competences CB2, CB3, CB4, CB5 and CEQ4.

On the other hand, the practical activities (problem solving, practical exercises, seminars and debates), will allow the students to achieve the competences CB2, CB3, CB4 and CEQ4.

The synchronous non face-to-face teaching will be given by videoconference using the Hangouts meet tool (from Google) or any other videotelephony tool. Some ICT resources will be used, together with the virtual teaching platform as well as the use of e-mail as mechanisms that will allow the teaching-learning process to be carried out. These same tools will be used for tutoring.

In order to pass the course, students must pass an on-line theoretical-practical exam that will represent 40% of the total weight of the evaluation. The evaluation of the practical part of the course will be done through the delivery of a report (qualified as pass or fail) in relation to the work done in the teaching laboratory of the Department, as well as the completion of a group work (or individual, if considered more appropriate) related to the subject of the course (instrumentation part: sensors); the student will have to defend this work before the teacher and its weight in the final evaluation will be 25%. The completion of the activities proposed during the four-month period will account for 25% of the final grade of the course. Finally, attendance will be controlled, valuing the participation and active attitude in class, which will represent 10% of the final grade. To pass the course, the student must obtain a final overall grade equal to or higher than 5.0 points.

Note 1: In order to pass the course, in general, the score obtained in the theoretical exam must be at least 4.0. If this value is not exceeded, the score obtained in the evaluation corresponding to the practical activities of the course will not count in the final grade of the same, so that it will coincide, in this case, with the grade obtained in the theoretical exam.

Note 2 : The above evaluation system will be applied to those students who can regularly attend the virtual sessions (continuous evaluation system). However, there are specific cases of students who cannot follow the above mentioned system. In that case, the student would be evaluated exclusively by means of the written exam, carried out within the calendar foreseen for the final exams, and would pass the subject by obtaining a minimum grade equal to 5.0 points.

This system will allow the evaluation of the learning results Result-13 and Result-14.

This evaluation system will be applicable both in the ordinary and extraordinary exams.
