General Degree Competences involved:



-C.3 Knowledge of basic and technological subjects that enables students to learn new methods and theories, providing them with versatility to adapt to new situations.



C.4 Capacity to solve problems using initiative, decision making, creativity, critical thinking, and to communicate and convey knowledge, abilities and skills in the field of Industrial Engineering), and the cross-curricular competencies C12 (Adopt a responsible and organised attitude towards work and a willingness to learn taking into account the challenge of the necessary continuous training.



C.13 Apply scientific method strategies: analyse qualitatively and quantitatively the problem situation, propose hypotheses and solutions using industrial engineering models, speciality mechanics.





The specific competencies related to these more general degree competencies are:



- Know, understand and apply the basic concepts of Fluid Mechanics to carry out professional engineering activities in the field of fluids (related to C3, C4 and C13 competencies).





- Apply scientific method strategies to fluid mechanics: analyse a problem qualitative and quantitatively, propose hypotheses and extract conclusions from the solutions (related to C3, C4 and C13 competencies).





- Effectively communicate the procedure used to solve a problem using concepts, procedures and results that belong to the field of fluid mechanics. (related to C4 competency).



-Adopt a responsible and organised attitude towards work and a willingness to learn, and develop the capacity to work autonomously (related to C4 competency).



The didactic objectives are the following:



1. Identify the basic elements of hydraulic systems. Analyse the known data and measuring units.

2. Based on known data, propose the optimal solution for a given problem.

3. Solve the problem applying previously assimilated knowledge.

4. Interpret the results and extract conclusions.

The course comprises 6 ECTS credits, 4,5 for classroom theory and problem sessions, and 1,5 for practical laboratory sessions.



The course is given twice weekly in 90 minute sessions during the second term. No distinction is made between theoretical and problem resolving sessions. Theory and problems are mixed, introducing problems as progress is made with theoretical aspects, and whenever possible. Both assistance to the classes, and individual ongoing work during the whole term, are critical aspects to properly follow the course and to assimilate of taught concepts.



Along with the theory and problem solving sessions, 15 practical laboratory hours are also included in the course. These are divided in approximately five 3 hour long laboratory sessions. The laboratory practical sessions are designed to deepen in the concepts explained in theory classes, and also to test them practically in the laboratory. However, these also train the students in fundamental aspects like working in groups, routinely make measurements in the context of a laboratory or working with real world measurements.



Laboratory sessions will take place once the concepts involved in a given laboratory session have been explained in ordinary classroom sessions, as long as this is possible. The students will work in small groups (5 students maximum) in the laboratory under the supervision of the teacher. A record of assistance will be taken in laboratory sessions.



Recall that a continuous work during the whole term is of crucial importance to follow the course, assimilate the concepts and successfully fulfill the assessment.

The only one option for the evaluation of the student is the final evaluation. It will consist of a written exam on the entire subject (100% of the grade), both in the ordinary and extraordinary exam calls. It may consist of one or more questions related to the laboratory practices, the rest being theory and exercises. The final evaluation exams, both in the ordinary and in the extraordinary exam calls, will be held on the official dates and times assigned by the school.



All students taking part in a final exam, whether in ordinary or extraordinary exam calls, will obtain a grade. The NOT PRESENTED qualification is therefore reserved for the students that do not take part of the exams.

Lecture notes..
Book of tables..
Guide for laboratory sessions.
Problem book.
Book of past exams.

In relation to the use of materials and other resources in the evaluation tests, it is established that in this subject the use of books or notes, as well as of telephones, electronic devices, computers or any other type of devices is strictly forbidden, as far as the PART OF THEORY is concerned, and that in the PART OF EXERCISES, only the materials that are communicated to the students sufficiently in advance may be used.
