General description and relevant information <div> This subject is taught in two ways. In the own (face-to-face) mode, there is no change and you can consult the information in the corresponding sections of this guide. With regard to online teaching, the contents, skills and learning outcomes will be the usual ones and you can consult them in the corresponding section of the guide. The methodologies, planning and evaluation will be as similar as possible to the face-to-face modality and you need to consult the details in the section “Evaluation" and "Other comments and second call". <br /></div><div><p>The aim of the URV is to ensure that the teaching of the 2021-22 academic year is taught with the maximum attendance allowed by the indications of the health authorities. The activity groups and the modus operandi of the experimental laboratories will be established at the beginning of the course according to the degree of occupation allowed and the individual protection measures necessary for the activity.</p></div><div><p><b>GENERAL DESCRIPTION: </b>This course integrates different types of laboratory practices, including the experimental determination of thermodynamic properties and fluid transport, calibration of laboratory instruments and practices of control and energy conversion </p></div>

Methodologies
  Description
Introductory activities Activities aimed at making contact and collecting information from students. There will also be a presentation of the subject describing the learning objectives, contents, methodologies, evaluation systems and skills to be worked on. This session will be first in each subject and will last 30 min
Lecture Exhibition of the contents of the subject in the classroom or laboratory
Previous study Search, reading and documentation work prior to laboratory practices by the student
Laboratory practicals Apply, on a practical level, the theory of a domain of knowledge in a specific context. Practical exercises through the different laboratories
Presentations / oral communications Oral presentation by students of a specific topic or a work (previous written presentation)
Assignments Exercises performed by the student from material and references provided by the teacher or as a result of laboratory practices. This activity has a greater scope and extension than the resolution of problems
Personal attention This guidance is carried out by the teacher of each subject with the students enrolled in the same. The purpose of this guidance is to plan, guide, dynamise, monitor and evaluate the student's learning process, taking into account their profile interests, needs, previous knowledge, etc.) and the characteristics / requirements of the context ( EHEA, academic / professional profile, social-labor demand, etc.).

Personalized attention
Description
For the attention of the subject in face-to-face modality, the tutorials will be carried out in person with the teacher, within the consultation schedule.
For the attention of the subject in online mode, the necessary online tutorials will be carried out at the request of the student by appointment with the teacher.
