Teaching methods and learning activities

This course may be considered divided in two modules: design and simulation.
In the design module there will be lectures and problem solving sections. The students will be evaluate by homeworks and an information search report.
In the simulation module there will be lectures for coaching students, following their progresses and discussing arisen difficulties. The students will be evaluate by analysis and discussion of a final report.
