LEARNING ACTIVITIES Theoretical classes Practical Classes Lab sessions (development of simulations in computer rooms) Tutoring hours Teamwork Individual work of the student METHODOLOGY Classroom lessons by means of presentations and simulations. In these lessons, the main concepts of the subject will be developed by teacher and complementary references will be given to students. Practical case studies, problems resolution, etc. will be proposed by teacher to be solve individually or in groups Project and reports development, individually or group
