Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria Theoretical classes using the expository, interrogative and demonstrative method, with the support of slideshows and digital resources
Theoretical-practical classes consist of solving exercises in the classroom with the support of exercise sheets to allow the student to understand and consolidate the subjects.

LABORATORY WORK (TLab)
Laboratory classes allow you to contact different materials and their behaviour through testing.

SYNTHESIS ANALYSIS WORK (TAS)
Elaboration of a work of analysis and synthesis of a scientific article dealing with a material or application.

EVALUATION TESTS (TA)
Two individual assessment (TA) test

Minimum grade for access to the Exam: 6 points.
Language Portuguese. Tutorial support is available in English.
