The activities carried out in the teaching of the subject are: Lectures. Presentation of the main concepts. Discussion and clarification of doubts about the concepts. It will work on transparencies that will be given to students to facilitate learning in addition to a text or basic reference texts on the subject required. Classes practical exercises. Sessions in which problems arise and let students into groups to raise their solutions. Laboratories. The students (in teams of 2 or 3) they propose a practical case studies, should study and then make the simulation data and analysis. knowledge of the topics covered in lectures and practical classes in the subject will be used. a previous study will, will work in the laboratory and then a written report with the results and proposed solutions will be delivered. Addendum COVID-19: Due to the situation caused by COVID-19, if it were both theory classes and seminars, they would be carried out online, the practices would be attempted in the laboratories, except in the case of impossibility, in which case they would be adapted to be carried out online.
