Métodos de ensino e atividades de aprendizagem

The theoretical and practical nature of this course unit leads to the alternation between theoretical and practical classes, in the classroom and in e-learning environment. The practical lessons emphasize the resolution of exercises for the application of theoretical concepts, research and analysis of technical and scientific papers.
