Learning Activities and Methodology:

In the classes will be taught the contents described in the program of the subject. In addition, during the course the students have to make and pass the following practices:

- Practice 1: Modeling by shape deformation I. Tools.
- Practice 2: Modeling by shape deformation I. Numeric modeling.
- Practice 3: Modeling by machining: Cutting tools and tool-machines CNC.
- Practice 4: Tool-machines CNC programming.

Assessment System:

CONTINUOS EVALUATION:
- 2 continuous assessment test during the course (3 points).
- A work in groups related with the contents of the subject (1 point).

FINAL EXAM:
- A final evaluation exam mainly containing practical (6 points).

PRACTICES:
There will be 4 practices during the course. The realization and overcoming the labs is mandatory to get PASS qualification. If some student doesn¿t pass the practices his qualification in the continuous evaluation will be 50% reduced.
