Learning activities and methodology
- Theory - Lectures (large group), problem resolution Seminars (small groups), individual tutorials, mentoring and student personal homework; oriented to theoretical knowledge acquisition and to understand the use of electronics through real applications. - Practices oriented to practical knowledge related with the contents of the course. - Small group sessions both in lab and normal classrooms (with computer) to promote the student self-learning and to encourage the self-knowledge through a PBL (problem-based learning) methodology, following the guidelines from the Higher Education European Space. - Flipped classroom contents through a lab competences acquisition SPOC (Small Private Online Course)
