Base Knowledge
Electric circuits
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 student, the study of exemplary practical exercises follows. At each step, the computational tools used are presented.
Learning Results
Familiarize students with the field of automation and instrumentation, particularly with measurement instruments, automatic systems and industrial sensors. Develop knowledge and understanding capacity to solve problems in the fields of industrial instrumentation and automation; Provide the student’s ability to apply the acquired knowledge in solving specific problems, supported by argument, seeking their continuous improvement; Endow the student’s ability to work in groups, developing interpersonal relationships.
