Teaching method
Teaching comprises
- tyheoretical lectures, where basic concepts are presented,
- practical sessions in laboratory (processing, mechanical testing and characterization techniques),
- theoretica-practical sessions for numerical resolution of problems and data processing from experiments in lab sessions.
