METHODOLOGY:
The professor introduces different themes, proposes exercises, problems and practical cases
corresponding to the studied issues and the student has to solve them at home. Those
exercises are subsequently solved and discussed in class.
Classes are completed with the visit to representative energy plants.
EVALUATION:
The evaluation is carried out according to:
A.- Work done at home about a monographic issue proposed by the professor that
corresponds to a 20% (d) in the final evaluation.
B.- Exam. The exam has a theoretical part that corresponds to a 50% (a, h, e) in the final
evaluation and a part of problems and exercises that is also a 30% (e) of the qualification.
CRITERIA FOR RESULTS EVALUATION:
Objective 1:
The student must show basic knowledge about the different types of commercial
energies and their relative importance in the fulfillment of energy needs in the
society.
The student must demonstrate that he has acquired a general knowledge of the
performance of energy sectors and of the configuration of basic infrastructures for
production, transport, distribution and commercialization of main energy products.
Objective 2:
The student must be able to analyze and assess different possible solutions to
satisfy the energy needs of an industrial activity in order to propose the most
appropriate solution.
Objective 3
The student must demonstrate that he can understand the importance of a suitable
energy management and the impact and social repercussion it may have.
Objective 4
He must have the necessary perspective to foresee and adapt to the changing range
of technologies and energy markets.
