Automação Industrial

Base Knowledge

Nothing to report.

Teaching Methodologies

Teaching methodologies follow a temporal sequence that allows trainees to acquire theoretical knowledge on the main themes of the Course. In order to ensure that this theoretical knowledge is internalized by the trainees, the study of exemplary practical exercises follows. At each step, the computational tools used are presented.

Note: In laboratory classes, the use of cell phones or smartphones is not permitted without the teacher’s permission.
