Objectives
Basic skills CB6 Possess and understand knowledge that provides a basis or opportunity to be original in the development and / or application of ideas, often in a research context CB7 That students know how to apply the knowledge acquired and their ability to solve problems in new or unfamiliar environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their area of study CB8 That students are able to integrate knowledge and face the complexity of formulating judgments based on information that, being incomplete or limited, includes reflections on social and ethical responsibilities linked to the application of their knowledge and judgments CB9 That the students know to communicate their conclusions and the knowledge and last reasons that sustain them to specialized and non-specialized public in a clear and unambiguous way CB10 That students have the learning skills that allow them to continue studying in a way that will be largely self-directed or autonomous. General skills CG3 Proactive capacity to address and solve problems posed under new or unfamiliar environments, within the context of IoT. CG4 Ability to work as a team, integrating multidisciplinary approaches. CG5 Capacity of public communication of the concepts, developments and results, related to activities in IOT, adapted to the profile of the audience. CG6 Ability to apply the knowledge acquired and solve problems in new or unfamiliar environments within broader and multidisciplinary contexts, with the ability to integrate knowledge. CG7 Ability to know how to communicate (orally and in writing) the conclusions - and the knowledge and ultimate reasons that sustain them - to specialized and non-specialized audiences in a clear and unambiguous way. CG8 Capacity for continuous, self-directed and autonomous learning. LEARNING RESULTS The learning outcomes that students should have are: Know the IoT tools for energy efficiency in buildings and smart homes.
