Teaching method

During theoretical classes the teacher introduces the main concepts supported in adequate audio-visual means such as slides and videos which are facilitated afterwards to enhance autonomous study.
Experimental classes are synchronized with the theoretical ones. Students develop experimental work in the lab targeting also team work.

The teacher organises visits to companies aiming to consolidate concepts and theoretical knowledge and contact with industrial equipments.

Evaluation method

Students are evaluated through an integrating project performed in groups of 2-3 students, delivered to professors, presented to all the groups and individually discussed.

There is no other method or evaluation time.

During the 5th or 6th week should be given a first draft version of the project. (25% of the final grade).

Only students with a grade not lower than 10 are approved.
