| Methodologies |
| Description | |
| Introductory activities | Course Presentation |
| Lecture | Exposition of the contents of each topic. Theory combined with significant examples. |
| Presentations / oral communications | Oral defense of the integrative project carried out by the students. |
| Problem solving, exercises | Problem delivery through the virtual campus. |
| Reading written documents and graphs | Reading and work of published documentation in various formats. This can be selected or elaborated by the teaching staff, with the aim of facilitating the student’s development of the more theoretical skills and those knowledge necessary for the development of practical activities. |
| Assignments | Integrative project in which students will apply the concepts studied during the course. The project will deal with the design by simulation of an electrical architecture of a hybrid / electric vehicle. It will be done in groups of 2 to 4 students. |
| videoconferencing | Presentation of the contents of the subject, presentation of activities, resolution of problems and doubts through web conferencing. This activity requires a synchronous presence of students and faculty. Its development allows different degrees of interactivity depending on the intended objectives. This activity can be recorded at the time of its development in order to make it available to students in the virtual classroom and facilitate their subsequent consultation. |
| Webinairs | Talks, round tables and presentations focused on specific topics given by experts in the field, to deepen the knowledge of certain subjects through web conferencing or other tools. Its development allows different degrees of interactivity depending on the intended objectives. This activity can be recorded at the time of its development to facilitate subsequent consultation. |
| Personal attention | Individual or small group attention in the teachers' office, by appointment by e-mail from the address "nom.cognom@estudiants.urv.cat". Interaction sharing doubts and proposals for answers in the Virtual Campus forum. Students can respond to each other with teacher supervision. |

| Other comments and second exam session | |||
|
To pass the course it is mandatory to do all the activities, assignments and mixed tests described in the course. The second call will consist of a mixed test (test and / or problems) of the whole syllabus with a weight of 55%. During the tests students will not be able to use any communication and data transmission device. Programmable calculators may not be used during the tests. Note: The exams will be held in person. In case of lockdown or mobility restrictions caused by a health emergency, the assessment activities, including exams, would be done online on the scheduled dates. Updated information can be found on Moodle (virtual teaching space). |
