Double Qualification in Computer Engineering and Multimedia Engineering

Double Degree in Computer Engineering and Multimedia Engineering

La Salle Campus Barcelona offers 5 double degrees in the ICT Engineering and the Business Management field. With the double degrees, you can finish the university studies in 5 academic years with two official degree qualifications

Automatics and Domotics

Description
This subject is divided into two totally differentiated parts, but at the same time they complement each other. The first part, Domotics: Acquire knowledge about the operation and implementation of domotics control systems, whether centralized systems, or distributed systems. These systems focus on both residential and tertiary applications such as shops, markets, office buildings, ships, etc. In addition, students will learn how to make integrations with the main European domotics system, the KNX. The second part, Automatics: Study of specialized applications for industry and other types of infrastructures (airports, garages, etc.). The explanation focuses on: - Learning the main types of sensors and actuators. - The programming of control systems, Industrial Programmable Automata (API's or PLC's). - The programming of monitoring and control systems (SCADA's). - The stages of the projects related to the design and implementation of an automated application. Both in the first and second part, students will work with applications that simulate real cases.

Objectives

Students of this course will acquire the following knowledge:
- recognize the different elements that made up an automated application (Sensors, actuators, API´s, SCADA´s…).
- Know the particularity of the automated applications in and industrial environment.
- Know the stages of a design project and execution of an automated application.
- Understand and design a simple domotic installation.
- Learn to program a centralized and a distributed domotic system.
- Implement a simple SCADA with API´s KNX.

Methodology

The methodology is the same for both parts, automatic and domotic, and consists in lectures with the student´s active participation. The lectures are taught at the laboratory (Automatic Laboratory), where the professor combines theoretical explanations with practical demonstrations. By the other hand, there are also other practices that shall be developed outside class hours.

All classes have a continuous evaluation process in which the student has a test that indicates his following-level of the subject. This implies that the student must study or solve some problems at home and that are commented in class.
Practices have to be accomplished out of class time, but students have a schedule where they will receive a personalized attention by the professor to solve doubts about the theory, problems or practices.

Evaluation

The evaluation of this subject includes:

Exercises in class.
Practice out of class.
Written exam.
Exhibitions/Presentations.
Individual or group work/reports.

Evaluation Criteria

This subject has two parts: automatics and domotics.

It is necessary to approve both parts with a grade higher than 5.

Once both parts are approved, the subject's final grade is calculated in the following way:

Final_Grade = Automatics_Grade *0,5 + Domotics_Grade * 0,5

Evaluation of the Automatic part:
The Automatic grade (Automatic_Grade) is calculated as follows:
Automatic_Grade = Practice_Grade * 0,6 + CE_Grade * 0,4
CE_Grade: exercises, works and tests done during classes.
Practice_Grade: correct functionality, development process and reported results.

Evaluation of the Domotics part:
The Domotic grade (Domotic_Grade) is calculated as follows:
Domotic_Grade = Practice_Grade * 0,6 + CE_Grade *0,4
CE_Grade: exercises, works and tests done during classes.
Practice_Grade: correct functionality, development process and reported results.
