Teaching methods and learning activities
The course work has a very strong applied nature and will be conducted in a Unit Operations lab in two distinct projects:
1. Communication with analytical instruments through a serial interface (RS-232)
2. Process monitoring and control using analog/digital data acquisition systems
The projects will be carried out by teams of two students.
Software
