Teaching methods and learning activities

The teaching methodology consists in the introduction of the various syllabus subjects in theoretical and practical lessons. In addition to the theoretical aspects, these lessons are presented a set of examples and exercises that illustrate the theoretical concepts. It is intended that students develop qualitative/quantitative analysis capabilities on the solid optical, opto-electronic and guidance structures. The assessment consists of a written test end where the set of exercises presented in a balanced way covers the various issues discussed in the curricular unit.
