Métodos de ensino e atividades de aprendizagem

This curricular unit is organized with a dynamic teaching methodology that uses theoretical/practical classes. The concepts mentioned in the syllabus are taught with the aid of PowerPoint slides. Practical exercises will be solved, under the supervision of the teacher. In addition, students will perform a mini-project related to a specific food industry, characterizing the processes and proposing new ones, based on new technologies, if possible.

Continuous evaluation: two tests (2 x 40%) + mini-project on food industry (20%). The evaluation may also be performed by exam (80%) + mini-project on food industry (20%). The evaluation may also be composed entirely of a final exam (100%).
