Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
1) Lectures: -the material will be presented sequentially.
2) Resolution of exercises. Worksheet exercises will be carried out framing and summarizing the material for the different topics (types of materials). The professor will present extracts from scientific articles that will be used as examples of analysis of typical applications and properties.
3) Group work of 2 students: It is intended to carry out research work on the topics of the program, promoting the deepening of the contents.
