The teaching methodology will include: - Lectures, which will include the knowledge that students should acquire. To facilitate their development students will receive class notes and key reference books, which will allow them to complete those issues which are more interested - Practical aimed at solving exercises. These classes are supplemented by solving exercises by students that will serve to assess their knowledge and acquire the necessary skills. - Lab, where students simulate or design, assemble and test an electronic system aimed at solving a particular problem. In some of these practices, students will handle electronic instrumentation equipment and the main electronic components under study.
