Teaching method
Theoretical and practical classes; study visits; design guidance
Evaluation method
The assessment is done by designing a project (divided into two parts - two group (max 4 elements) assignments: 20% + 30%) and the resolution of two individual written examinations (20% + 30%).
The group assignements will considered as "frequência".
A minimal grade of 9,5 in each evaluation components (project + written examinations) is required.
In examinations only numeric calculators will be allowed, and there is a minimal grade of 9,5 in the first individual written examinations.
