Universidad de Jaén

THEORETICAL LESSONS:  

The theoretical block has been divided into three modules and seven topics, with the structure outlined below. In addition, the student will be provided with the ability to keep up to date with developments in science and technology, such as the dynamic environment of electronics.

Section 1 . Instrumentation and electronic measurements.

  Topic 1. Sensors and actuators.

  Topic 2. Instrumentation operational amplifier. Signal conditioning.

Section 2 . Data adquisition.

  Topic 3 . Fundamentals of data acquisition.

  Topic 4. Data acquisition with LabVIEW and free hardware platforms.

  Section 3 . Power supplies systems

  Topic 5. Photovoltaic Energy. Cells, Modules, Stand-Alone Photovoltaic Systems.

  Topic 6. Switched sources.

  Topic 7. Supply of PV-based equipment

PRACTICAL LESSONS

The practical block of the subject includes practices in the laboratory and on the terrace of the center and its nature is compulsory. To develop the final design it is necessary to have passed the mandatory guided p ractices. With global design, the development of communication skills, information, ideas, problems and solutions in the field of engineering and society in general is encouraged through processes of delivery of documentation or oral presentations.

Collaboration and teamwork will be encouraged through the design of practices in the organization of work.

Practical session  1. Introduction to LabVIEW

Practical session 2. Program flow control in LabVIEW. Calculator

Practical session 3. Data adquisition by MyDAQ

Practical session 4. Rectifier with stabiliser

  Practical session 5. Linear regulated power  supply

Practical session 6. Switching power supply

The master classes will include the PBL group creation, PBL proposal and typical problem solutions, besides the master lectures. They will be focused on promoting quality teaching, prioritizing activities that promote inclusive and equitable learning (SDG-4).

The practical lectures will help the students to understand theoretical lectures, with basic and design practices in order to demonstrate the capacities achieved by them. 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 electronics throughout their professional life independently.

The practical part is going to have an important weight in the subject. The objective will be to set up the theoretical knowledge with the development of the practical classes.

At the beginning, while the theoretical knowledge is advanced, management of simulation and prototyping software programs will be acquired. Next, some basic electronic integration designs will be propose for the students to understand and improve them in the practical classes. The evaluation of the subject would be supported by an improved electronic integration based on the basic designs that have been offered. There are 6 ETCS, 2.7 corresponds to practical activities and 2.7 to theoretical classes.

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 subject appreciates theoretical and practical knowledge. A practical design will be proposed to include almost the whole subject.

An useful, feasible, ethical and accurate assessment is made, whose objective it is not only the student`s qualification, but it should give enough data in order to analyze the development of the subject by the professor. A Problem Based Learning (PBL) is applied:

•     A continuous, weekly evaluation. They need to develop the guided practices that must be passed (6 sessions) to do a global design (5 sessions). The weighting, in this case, would be 15 % corresponding to the participation (classes, practices, seminars and tutorials), 5 % to the attendance, 40 % to guided practices and 40 % to the global design.

A continuously monitoring is done and students are informed of their progress. The practices have an evaluation of 0-10 points. For the PBL option, the student will show a good knowledge in the 7 guided practices in order to justify the evolution of the global design in which they are working.

UNIQUE TEST

In compliance with article 13 of the Regulation of Academic Regime and Student Assessment of the University of Jaén, any student who justifiably (according to the assumptions contained in the aforementioned article) cannot participate in the regulated and complementary activities of a face-to-face nature proposed in the subject, may request the teaching staff to change the evaluation procedure to a Single Exam. This request, together with the corresponding justification, must be made at least one week before the beginning of the examination period. In this case, there will be a theoretical-practical exam that will evaluate S2 (concepts of the subject) and S4 (laboratory practices). 

A compulsory theoretic-practical exam or a design will be done in exceptional cases (non in person class).

1.Teaching methodology and training activities.  

If the number of students is greater than the limited capacity in the laboratory (all teaching would be taught in a laboratory) the methodology and activities would be developed as follows: 

If the number of students is lower than the limited capacity in the laboratory (all teaching would be taught in a laboratory) the methodology and activities would be developed as follows:
