Bibliography

 

Bibliography will be given to each subject

Teaching method

In the theoretical classes the material is presented and interaction with the students is encouraged.

 

In the laboratorial classes experiments are performed to highlight the key characteristics of different technologies and to gain laboratorial experience.

Classes can be made in English if foreign students are registered.

Evaluation method

 The studens are evaluated based on a project.

 

This project is done with groups of 2 to 3 students and is delivered at the end of the semester. The work will be reviewed and discussed.

In the middle of the term there will be a preliminary presentation of the students'''''''' project to see what is their envisaged plan.
