Learning Outcomes
CB1: Students have demonstrated possession and understanding of knowledge in an area of study that builds on the foundation of general secondary education, and is usually at a level that, while relying on advanced textbooks, also includes some aspects that involve knowledge from the cutting edge of their field of study. CB3: Students have the ability to gather and interpret relevant data (usually within their field of study) in order to make judgements which include reflection on relevant social, scientific or ethical issues. CB5: Students will have developed the learning skills necessary to undertake further study with a high degree of autonomy. CG6: Aptitude for dealing with the obligatory specifications, regulations and norms. ECRT3: Ability to use IT search tools for bibliographic resources and information related to telecommunications and electronics. RA1: To acquire the knowledge and understanding of the general basic fundamentals of engineering, as well as, in particular, of multimedia communications networks and services, audio and video signal processing, room acoustic control, distributed multimedia systems and interactive multimedia applications specific to Sound and Image Engineering within the telecommunications family. RA4: To be able to carry out research and carry out innovative contributions in the field of Sound and Image Engineering, including bibliographic search and comprehension as well as the design and development of experiments that solve the challenges of knowledge in the field of audiovisual systems, in terms of the capture, processing, adaptation, diffusion and consumption of multimedia contents, as well as associated networks, services and applications, which justifies the scientific interest of this Degree. RA6: To be fluent in the performance of the generic skills that graduates require for the practice of engineering in today's society, which includes being able to develop effective oral and written communication, work in a multidisciplinary and team framework, and maintain professional competence through continuous learning throughout their lives. They also include demonstrating awareness of the responsibility of engineering practice, social and environmental impact, and commitment to professional ethics, responsibility and standards of engineering practice. They also include knowledge of business and project management practices, as well as risk management and control, and an understanding of their limitations.

Learning activities and methodology
TEACHING IS FULL TAUGHT IN THE SYNCHRONOUS AND INTERACTIVE ONLINE MODALITY THEORETICAL-PRACTICAL CLASSES. [12 hours with 100% classroom instruction, 0.48 ECTS] Knowledge and concepts students must acquire. Student receive course notes and will have basic reference texts to facilitate following the classes and carrying out follow up work. Students partake in exercises to resolve practical problems and participate in workshops and evaluation tests, all geared towards acquiring the necessary capabilities. TUTORING SESSIONS. [1 hours of tutoring with 100% on-site attendance, 0.08 ECTS] Individualized attendance (individual tutoring) or in-group (group tutoring) for students with a teacher. STUDENT INDIVIDUAL WORK OR GROUP WORK [24,5 hours with 0 % on-site, 0.98 ECTS] METHODOLOGIES THEORY CLASS. Classroom presentations by the teacher with IT and audiovisual support in which the subject`s main concepts are developed, while providing material and bibliography to complement student learning. PRACTICAL CLASS. Resolution of practical cases and problems, posed by the teacher, and carried out individually or in a group. Case-studies oriented to information seeking in web sources, analysis of these sources, evaluation of results, presentation and citation of content. TUTORING SESSIONS. Individualized attendance (individual tutoring sessions) or in-group (group tutoring sessions) for students with a teacher as tutor. The days and hours of tutorship sessions for each group will be available in the course space in Aula Global.
