¿ Theoretical lectures and practical exercises led by the teacher. Students learn the theoretical content of the course and learn how to apply them by solving practical cases. ¿ Lessons in computer room. The student enhance their knowledge with the implementation of models of mechanical systems, machines and mechanisms, software and the resolution of their kinematics and dynamics by means of numerical methods. ¿ Performing a work. The student demonstrates his ability to working in group, by applying the knowledge acquired to a real case. It consists in carrying out the design and / or optimization of a mechanical system using computer simulation, calculation or analysis tools, available to the University and / or the Department or, alternatively, in the development of an experimental work and characterization of a mechanical system, machine or mechanism. The work will be done under the direction and supervision of the teacher. Students must make a written report and a public presentation ¿ Participation in conferences, seminars or conferences related to the subject. By attending one or two lectures, students acquire a global knowledge about a topic related to the subject and its relation to other adjacent areas
