Apart from this, it is important to highlight that the student will be provided with the ability to be updated with the latest developments in science and technology due to the dynamic environment in telecommunications.

Practical units

Practice 1. Evaluation of a project proposal in the following fields:

• Systems, networks, infrastructures and telecommunication systems.
• Common telecommunication infrastructures in buildings or residential areas, including digital home projects.
• Telecommunication infrastructures in transport and environment.
• Multidisciplinary projects.

Practice 2. Development of a project based on the proposal of practice 1.

Practice 3. Proposal and project presentation

  In addition, communication skills, ideas, problems and solutions in the field of engineering and society in general will be developed through documentation delivery processes or oral presentations.With regard to the organization of work, collaboration and teamwork will be encouraged through the design of the practices.

The development of large groups and small groups lectures will be focused on promoting quality teaching by giving  priority to activities that foster inclusive and equitable learning (SDG-4).

Lecture or master classes (big groups): Introductory activities,Master classes about theoretical contents or case studiesresolutions. Besides the exposition the theoretical contents of the subject, the ability to collect and interpret data and manage complex concepts within Telecommunication Engineering will be developed and enhanced, in order to make judgments that imply reflection on ethical and social issues.

 Lecture (Exercises/problems): Exercises/case studiesresolutions in groups and seminars about relevant contents relatedwith the practical sessions.

Lab Sessions: Active participation developing supervisedpractices about applications configuration, traffic measurementsand real time multimedia applications programming. n addition, work in a collaborative environment will be encouraged, as well as mixing with the communication of results, with special emphasis on the need for ongoing training in activities related to telecommunications throughout their independent professional life.

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

DETAILED INFORMATION

At the end of the term the students can choose between two assessment modalities:  CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT or FINAL EXAM.

Continuous Assessment

The Continuous Assessment modality will be carried out according to the outcomes of the activities planned during the term and described in the section "Methodology and activities", in addition to those described in the section "Detailed description of the Continuous Assessment" that will be weighted by considering the aspects and percentages detailed in the above table.

In order to pass the course, students must obtain a grade equal to or higher than 5.0 out of 10 in the overall results, but with the condition of obtaining a grade equal to or higher than 4.0 in each of the individual aspects assessed.  Otherwise, in the case of failing any of these two conditions (a grade equal to or higher than 5.0 out of 10 in the overall results, or equal to or higher than 4.0 in any of the assessed aspects), the student must follow the Final Exam modality.

Final Exam

In the FINAL EXAM modality, an exam will be held on the day set for the course within the exam period, which will cover all the course contents, ensuring that students have acquired the competences and learning outcomes established for the course. The two parts of this written exam are weighed as follows:

- Part 1: Attendance and participation, theoretical concepts and completion of study cases or exercises assignments (S1, S2, and S3): 70%.

- Part 2: Laboratory/ computer practical work (S4): 30%.

The specific conditions, as well as the material and/or documentation that may be used in the Final Exam will be established by the lecturer.

In order to pass the course, students must obtain a grade equal to or higher than 5.0 out of 10 in each of the two parts.

Students who have passed the S4 aspect (laboratory/computer practical work) of the course, through CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT, with a grade equal to or higher than 5.0 out of 10, will not have to take Part 2 corresponding to this aspect in the exam. The same grade obtained in the CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT will be assigned to this part.

The parts passed at each exam attempt will be maintained until the end of the academic year.

 The CONTINIOUS EVALUATION modality consists of the following activities:

Attendance and Active participation: 10%. The level of attendance will be computed considering practical (reduced groups) and theoretical/problems sessions (lectures with theory groups). The level of active participation will be evaluated via the students' participation and autonomous work in various proposed activities within lectures and lab sessions. The following competences will be evaluated with this method:  CB6, CB7, CB8, CB9, CB10, CG1, CG2, CG3, CG4, CG5, CG6, CG7, CG9, CT1, CT2, CT3, CT4, CT6, CT7. A positive evaluation assessed with this method will mean that the students have achieved the following learning outcomes: 02, 06, 07, 08.

Theoretical concepts: 30%. During the semester there will be some tests or activities to assess with a continuous evaluation the theoretical questions developed during lectures. In addition, the questions proposed as autonomous work or through ILIAS (LMS) will be included as part of this evaluation. The following competences will be evaluated with this method: CB9, CB10, CG2, CG3, CG4, CT1, CT2, CE15, CE16. A positive evaluation assessed with this method will mean that the students have achieved the following learning outcomes:  06, 07, 08.

Exercises and case studies: 30%. During the semester there will be questions/tests or activities about the problems and practical cases studied in the lectures. In addition, the development and presentation of the material related to activities proposed through the LMS will be also considered as part of the continuous evaluation. The following competences will be evaluated with this method: CB6, CB7, CB8, CB9, CB10, CG1, CG2, CG3, CG4, CG5, CG6, CG7, CG9, CG10, CT1, CT2, CT3, CT4, CT5, CT6, CT7, CE4, CE6, CE7, CE15, CE16 A positive evaluation assessed through this method will mean that the students have achieved the following learning outcomes: 02, 06, 07, 08.

Lab/computer practical sessions: 30%. This item takes into account the development of the design practices and the documentation requested. The following competences will be evaluated with this method: CB6, CB7, CB8, CB9, CB10, CG1, CG2, CG3, CG4, CG5, CG6, CG7, CG9, CG10, CT1, CT2, CT3, CT4, CT5, CT6, CT7, CE15, CE16. A positive evaluation assessed with this method will mean that the students have achieved the following learning results:  02, 06, 07, 08.

 Teaching methodology and learning activities

Schedule

The schedule can vary mainly due to the change from multi-modal scenario to the online one.

Evaluation system

There are no changes in the evaluation format (weights of each section) or in what is specified in the detailed evaluation.

Since the evaluation of the subject is continuous, there will only be an exam in the event that the student opts for the Single Test Evaluation, which is summarized in the following tables:

Ordinary call

Extraordinary call

Resources

Given that the attendance in the large group lectures and in the classes in practice groups is 100%, no exceptional resources are foreseen for them.
