• MetodologiaMethodology

  The learning objectives of this course are achieved through the programme contents of the different chapters, using theoretical and practical teaching methodologies and diversified resources. In addition to the presentation of fundamental concepts, the course promotes the development of analytical skills, interpretation of practical situations, and decision-making through guided exercises and laboratory sessions. The addressed concepts are progressively and contextually applied using C/C++ programming and microcontrollers. Practical assignments and a mini-project are also carried out, encouraging student autonomy and consolidation of the acquired knowledge.
