Base Knowledge
Students should have acquired knowledge on computer programming, digital electronics and microprocessors.
Teaching Methodologies
In theoretical classes the expository method predominates, complemented by the resolution and analysis of examples. The laboratory classes allow the consolidation of the theoretical knowledge acquired during the semester through the oriented resolution and analysis of the results of the proposed exercises, as well as a set of guiding and structuring works.
