Teaching Methods

The teaching and learning methodologies adopted include lectures, seminars, project development, case study analysis, problem-based learning focused on real-world challenges, collaborative work, and supervised tutorials.
Learning is promoted through guided research and sustained project development, fostering critical reflection, argumentative skills, oral presentations, independent work, and teamwork.
The course unit is structured according to a student-centred pedagogical approach, privileging active learning methodologies, the development of technical and transferable skills, interdisciplinarity, alignment with professional practice, and a continuous assessment model aligned with the defined learning outcomes.
