**Theoretical Classes**

The theoretical classes are organized into three one-hour sessions per week throughout the semester. Some of these sessions will employ active learning methodologies such as flipped classrooms and cooperative problem-solving.

These methodologies require students to work independently before the sessions. Students will have access to specific materials for these sessions on the University of Jaén's LMS. At the end of the session, the problems presented will be corrected in class. This feedback will be useful in future sessions to clarify doubts.

During the theoretical sessions, the following competencies will be developed: CB2, CB5, CEL5, and CT4. The learning outcomes will be as follows: Outcome-11, Outcome-13, Outcome-14, and Outcome-15. It is important to mention that using bibliography and materials in English helps students acquire the ability to work in a multilingual environment.

**Practical Sessions**

Throughout the semester, practical sessions of two hours will be held on alternate weeks. In these sessions, students will work in pairs and apply the concepts acquired in the theoretical classes. Prior to these sessions, students must complete preliminary work based on simulation tools.

In the practical sessions, the following competencies will be developed: CB3 and CB4. The learning outcomes will be as follows: Outcome-12.

**Seminars**

Throughout the semester, problem-solving seminars will be held, similar to those the student may encounter in their future professional career.

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 course, the following requirements must be met:

1. Attend all practical sessions (a maximum of one session can be made up).
2. Pass the theory and problem exam. This requires obtaining a minimum score of 5 out of a total of 10. This exam accounts for 80% of the final grade for the course.
3. Pass the practical sessions. The practical grade is the sum of the score awarded by the instructor in the laboratory for active participation (maximum 2.5 points) and the grade assigned for the presentation and defense of the practical sessions (maximum 7.5 points). This grade accounts for 20% of the final grade and will only be considered if the theory exam has been passed.

The theory and problem exam assesses the specific competence of automatic regulation knowledge and its application to industrial automation (CEL5). On the other hand, the defense of practical sessions assesses the specific competence CEL5, the transversal competence related to the use of ICT tools (CT4), and the basic competence related to the ability to convey information to an audience (CB4R). Finally, active participation in class assesses the remaining basic competences (CB2R, CB3R, and CB5R).

The defense of practical sessions assesses all learning outcomes (outcomes 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15), while the theory and problem exam assesses outcomes 11, 13, 14, and 15.

TEACHING METHODOLOGY AND TRAINING ACTIVITIES

(*) The Center may establish a different in-person percentage depending on the number of students and classroom/laboratory capacity.

(**) The Center may establish rotating attendance depending on the number of students and classroom/laboratory capacity (class at the assigned time and classroom/laboratory for a part of the group with videoconference transmission to the rest, with periodic student rotation as determined by the Center).

EVALUATION SYSTEM

RESOURCES

Online asynchronous participation will be evaluated through participation in forums available in virtual teaching. If practices are 50% in-person, software tools enabled by the Center for remote access to laboratory PCs will be used.

Institution in charge of data processing: Universidad de Jaén, Campus Las Lagunillas, s/n, 23071 Jaén

Data Protection Delegate: dpo@ujaen.es

Purpose: In accordance with the Universities Law and other national and regional regulations in force, carrying out exams and assessment tests corresponding to the courses students are registered in. In order to avoid frauds while sitting the exam, the exam will be answered using a videoconference system, being able the academic staff of the University of Jaén to compare and contrast the image of the person who is answering the exam with the student's photographic files. Likewise, in order to provide the exam with evidential content for revisions or claims, in accordance with current regulation frameworks, the exam will be recorded and stored.

Legitimacy: compliance with legal obligations (Universities Law) and other national and regional regulations currently in force.

Addressees: service providers who are the owners of the platforms where the exams are carried out and with whom the University of Jaén has signed the corresponding data access contracts.

Storage periods: those established in current in force regulations. In the specific case of exam videoconference recordings, not before the examination records and transcripts are closed or the exam can still be reviewed or challenged.

Rights: you can exercise your right of access, amendment, cancellation, opposition, suppression, limitation and portability by sending a letter to the postal or electronic address indicated above. In the event that you consider that your rights have been violated, you may submit a complaint to the Andalusian Council for Transparency and Data Protection www.ctpdandalucia.es
