RA2.2: Ability to identify, formulate and solve engineering problems in their field of study; to select and apply relevant methods from established analytical, computational and experimental methods; to recognise the importance of non-technical societal, health and safety, environmental, economic and industrial constraints. RA3.1: Ability to develop and design complex products (devices, artefacts, etc.), processes and systems in their field of study to meet established requirements, that can include an awareness of non-technical ¿ societal, health and safety, environmental, economic and industrial ¿ considerations; to select and apply relevant design methodologies. RA3.2: Ability to design using some awareness of the forefront of their engineer ing specialisation. 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. CGO3: Ability to design, develop, evaluate and ensure the accessibility, ergonomics, usability and security of computer systems, services and applications, as well as the information they manage. CGO6: Ability to conceive and develop centralised or distributed computer systems or architectures integrating hardware, software and networks in accordance with the knowledge acquired. CECRI14: Knowledge and application of the fundamental principles and basic techniques of parallel, concurrent, distributed and real-time programming. CTE14: Ability to design and build digital systems, including computers, microprocessor- based systems and communications systems. CTE15: Ability to develop specific processors and embedded systems, as well as to develop and optimise software for such systems. CTE6: Ability to analyse and evaluate computer architectures, including parallel and distributed platforms, and develop and optimise software for them. CTE16: Ability to understand, apply and manage the warrant and security of computer systems.

Theoretical lectures: The goal is for the student to obtain the cognitive specific competencies of the subject as well as the transversal competencies like analytical and abstraction skills. Practical lectures: The goal is for the student to obtain the instrumental specific competencies of the subject as well as the transversal competencies like problem resolution and the application of knowledge. Continuos evaluation exercises: Started at the practical lectures and finished the goal of these exercises is to complete the instrumental specific competencies and to initiate the attitudinal specific competencies as well as the transversal competencies like problem resolution and the application of knowledge. Projects: Developed without the presence of the teacher, their goal is to complete and to integrate the achievement of all the specific and transversal competencies by developing projects where is well documented the approach to the problem, the chosen method to solve it, the obtained results and the interpretation of them. Office hours: Individual assistance (individual tutoring) or group assistance (group tutoring) for the students given by the teacher. Final exam: The goal is to enhance and complete the development of the cognitive and procedural specific competencies. It reflects specifically the leverage of the theoretical lectures.
