Teaching methods and learning activities

Theoretical presentations are based on slides complemented by code development / simulation examples. Student participation is encouraged and all students should expect to play an active role during one or more presentations. Lab sessions include exercises and hands-on work at the workbench, according to the planning available at the course web site.
