As for the Mechanical Plants s module, the examination is conducted by written test (multiple-choice questionnaire).

Regarding the Manufacturing Technology module, the examination consists of:

• a metrology practical training activity carried out during the lecture period;
• a 20/30 minute written test that if passed with a grade greater than or equal to 18 allows access to the oral test;
• an oral test of 2 questions.

The written test only applies to a single examination.

No special call will be granted outside the periods specified in the course regulations, except for working students enrolled part-time.

ASSESSMENT METHODS

The assessment of the Mechanical Plants module is done by written test (multiple-choice questionnaire). 

The assessment of the Manufacturing Technology module is carried out by means of an exercise, a written test and an oral examination. The student in the written test must demonstrate that he/she understands the topics explained in the lectures and solve problems from the definitions and exercises carried out in class. The reference topics of the written test are: machining and statistical quality control. The oral examination consists of a review of what has been learned and the ability to critically employ the models and concepts covered in the lecture.
