Métodos de ensino e atividades de aprendizagem
The modular course is organized into lectures, solving problems class sessions (tutorial sessions) and laboratory classes. The lecture is taught using PowerPoint presentations where the fundamental principles and important applications are explained. The tutorial sessions are organized in a set of problems for each chapter that should be solved by students with minimum assistance. In the laboratory classes will be executed 3 lab works with evaluation through technical reports.
