Sensores e transdutores

In theoretical classes the expository method predominates, complemented by the resolution and analysis of examples. The laboratory classes allow the consolidation of theoretical knowledge acquired during the semester through the guided resolution and analysis of the results of the proposed exercises, as well as a set of guiding and structuring works.
