Teaching Methods

Theoretical classes using Powerpoints, videos and quizes
Practical classes that include summaries and exercises, as well as applications in the workshop and professional center.
Presentations by invited experts.

A) Evaluation Methods
1) Development of a project in the area of vibrations or in the area of noise (at the student's choice) (classification in the interval [0.20]).
Weight 70%
2) Resolution of a faulty chip (rating in the range [0.20]).
Weight 30%
If the final mark is 10 or higher: Approved
If the final classification is less than 10 values: Disapproved

B) Student Accompaniment and Attendance
Question Time available 3 times a week, in sets of two hours each, in the teacher's office. Use of e-mail to ask basic questions or to mark another time of convenient accompaniment for each student.
