• MetodologiaMethodology

  The learning objectives are addressed through a structured presentation of the syllabus, supported by diverse teaching resources. The methodology emphasizes the development of interpretation, analysis, decision-making, and calculation skills, as well as deductive reasoning. Concepts are introduced using varied strategies, with a strong focus on real and simulated circuits and systems, ensuring practical and contextualized learning. This approach fosters student motivation and promotes deeper, more sustained learning by highlighting the relevance of electronics in data acquisition systems. Teaching includes theoretical explanations, real demonstrations, simulation-based activities, and hands-on lab work to encourage student autonomy. Assessment combines theoretical and practical components, including tests, lab reports, and/or project work, emphasizing the application of knowledge in real-world contexts.
