Base Knowledge
The basic knowledge corresponds to compliance with the conditions for access to the Course, which will be complemented by the general training of the Course (Mathematics).
Teaching Methodologies
In the theoretical contact hours, teaching will be provided in essentially expository sessions, interspersed with examples of application. In the applied contact hours, teaching will be divided into:
– TP sessions, for solving exercises, in a conventional classroom, which may use slide projection or a conventional board;
– experimental sessions, to be held in a suitable laboratory space, based on a script, with duly identified objectives, and on which a written report must be produced (and submitted for assessment).
In the experimental sessions, skills will be trained in assembling electrical circuits, using different measuring devices, measuring different electrical quantities and, at the same time, experimental learning will be stimulated, in some works, as a way of deducing concepts that will later be addressed in the theoretical or theoretical-practical sessions.
Learning Results
To train the student to solve electrical circuits, in DC regime;
Enable the student to implement electrical circuits with discrete components;
To enable the student to visualize and measure fundamental electrical quantities (voltage/current), and to understand the operation of measuring devices.
To enable students to differentiate between stationary and transitory operating regimes;
To enable students to understand and analyze single-phase alternating current electrical systems.
