In this course, various teaching methodologies are used, the most commonly used being problem solving and project based learning. Autonomous work will be encouraged, through the use of bibliographic resources that help students to understand the different aspects of the subject.

In the master classes the topics established in the program of the subject will be exposed.

Classes will be given to explain the conceptual contents of the subject, with the participation of the students in occasional discussions about them.

Classroom practices will be a complement to the master classes, in which exercises, practical issues and projects will be developed.

The resolution of questions and problems in the classroom will be carried out in a participatory manner. Problems and exercises will be provided that will be developed individually or in groups, which will allow to deepen the theoretical knowledge of the subject and to relate the Hydraulic Facilities and Machinery, with other related areas. The formulation of questions and open discussion will be encouraged, so that students acquire skills related to oral communication, the capacity for synthesis and teamwork.

The projects will take place both in class and outside of it. Both knowledge and skills will be achieved. Students will learn to be more autonomous, will work in a collaborative environment, and will improve their communication skills.

Laboratory practices will be a practical complement to the course.

In the laboratory practices, experimental works will be developed in order to acquire knowledge and skills of experimental techniques used in Hydraulic Installations and Machinery, reflecting the advances in a final technical report.

Through the laboratory practices, it is expected to train the student in the following points:

- Review, deepen and use the theoretical concepts.

- Take practical experience in data measurement and experimental tests.

- To become familiar with teamwork, something very necessary in their future work as an engineer.



The laboratory practices will be carried out in groups, formed by a maximum of 6 students.

During the laboratory practices, attendance is checked.

In order to facilitate and ensure the students' learning, both classroom and laboratory practices will be monitored. Feedback will be provided based on previously established evaluation criteria, so that students have the opportunity to become aware of their learning, as well as ways to improve it.



In the event that health conditions prevent the performance of a teaching activity and/or evaluation in person, a non-presential modality will be activated of which the students will be informed punctually.



If the student wants to achieve a clear knowledge of the subject, he/she will have to do a continuous work during the course, to assimilate and dominate the concepts.

CONTINUOUS EVALUATION SYSTEM: Students will be qualified by the different tasks developed throughout the course in the following way:



1. Written exam to be developed: 50% (This exam may contain theory questions to be developed, questions, problems and / or multiple choice questions)

2. Completion of laboratory practices: 20%

3. Teamwork (Problem Solving, Project Design): 30%. The evaluation of each project developed throughout the course may include: detailed report of the project, presentation to the rest of the class and oral defense of the questions raised after the presentation.



FINAL ASSESSMENT SYSTEM: This system contemplates the possibility of evaluating learning results through a test (Article 8 of the Regulations governing the Evaluation of students in official Bachelor's degrees), consisting of one or more examinations and global evaluation activities of the subject . In any case, it will be a condition to be able to take advantage of this evaluation system to deliver, before the end of the teaching period, the projects corresponding to the themes raised in class to the rest of the students. In this case, the projects will be individual and their evaluation, in addition to being written, may include an oral defense.



In the event that health conditions prevent the performance of a teaching activity and/or evaluation in person, a non-presential modality will be activated of which the students will be informed punctually.



The same final test will be taken in all the groups of the subject.



If there is a discrepancy between the Spanish and Basque guides, the Spanish version must be accepted.
