Activitats d'avaluació:

The evaluation involves several activities:
1) Lab/computer sessions and continuous assessment (L&CA): The students will work in teams inside the lab groups. Reports and exercices have to be delivered at the professor request. The team must have the report and the exercices completed in the prescribed dates (usually the next session), otherwise they’ll get a 0 grade for that task. It is necessary to participate in all the lab/computer sessions and also present all the reports/exercices. The team is responsible to keep a folder with all this content available at each session. The grade is individual: each member of the group will have to answer questions related to the report /exercices.
2) A project (PRO) consisting on the recalculation of an existing mechanical element. This task will also be done in teams whose members will be sorted out by the professor. Everybody is responsible for the group, though, and care will be taken to detect and penalise non collaborative members. This activity will involve 3 presentations before the professor in a tutorial session. It is not allowed to present the reports after the date prescribed by the professor.
3) Approximately at midterm there will be an examination (PAC) consisting of an exercise of an element similar to the ones that can appear in the final examination. The exercise will ask the student to do an analysis with the knowledge acquired up to date.
4) In order to keep pace with the course, the student is expected to attend all lectures and exercise sessions in the weekly schedule. Daily (or sampling) controls will be done.
5) There will be two final exams. If the student gets a grade equal or above 4 (out of 10) in the first exam, then the final grade will be calculated as the biggest grade among
• FE*0,6+L&CA*0,2+PRO*0,1+PAC*0,1
• FE*0,7+L&CA*0,2+PRO*0,1
• FE
provided that he has attended more than 75 % of lecturing and exercise sessions.
If the attendance has been below requirements, the final grade will be equal to FE.

If in the exam the grade if below 4, the final grade will be the biggest one out of
• FE
• L&CA*0,2+PRO*0,1+PAC*0,1
The final exam is the only evaluation activity that can be retaken. In this case, the student can sit the second final exam. The result of this second exam combines with the other grades as has been explained for the first exam.
Cheating in any of the evaluation activities is strongly advised against. If detected, it will imply a fail grade plus the corresponding academic sanctions.

Criteris específics de la nota «No Presentat»:
The student will get a "No Presentat (NP)" grade if he/she doesn't sit at any of the final exams and doesn't participate in any of the continuous assessment activities or abandons them before November 1th.

Lab/Computer room sessions:
Two of the sessions will be done with the ANSYS software in a computer room of the School.

Session description:

1- Extensometry: Bending, stress concentration, curved beam.
2- Extensometry: Impact loading.
3- ANSYS: Introduction, basic 2D models.
4- ANSYS: 3D models.
5- Power transmission: Gear box.
