Base Knowledge
Digital systems.
Teaching Methodologies
In the theoretical classes, the expository method predominates, complemented by the resolution and analysis of examples.
Laboratory classes allow the consolidation of theoretical knowledge acquired throughout the semester through guided resolution and analysis of the results of the proposed exercises, as well as a set of guiding and structuring works.
