• MetodologiaMethodology

  This course combines theoretical exposition, schematic analysis, and laboratory setups. The use of simulation software (CADE Simu or equivalent) allows for the virtual reproduction of automation circuits before their physical assembly, reducing errors and enhancing active learning. Problem-solving and guided projects enable the development of technical and transversal skills, promoting autonomy and the practical application of knowledge. Strong practical component with contact with real-world scenarios.
