Teaching Methods
The teaching method is based on theoretical classes and practical classes. An active learning system is focused to stimulate the student to make his own research on the matters presented in the classes.
Practical problems are solved in the classroom, with laboratory experimentation, what allow the students to identify and to become familiar with the studied industrial technology.
The assessment method consists on a laboratory project to implement a programmable automatic systems.
