Teaching Methodologies
In the theoretical and theoretical-practical classes we use the lecture method during the explanation of theoretical issues. In the laboratorial component, students have training sessions in CNC milling machine and create CNC programs. Some CNC programs are manually created. At the end the programs are loaded into CNC milling machine and performed to obtain parts.
Learning Results
