Mode of delivery |
The classes of this curricular unit are theoretical, practical and laboratory. The theoretical foundations are presented first, then the practical applications, with examples of calculation and finally the visualization and laboratory test. Presentations are made using a computer and video projector. Calculations of the practical component are done in the table. All documentation is provided to students on an e-learning platform.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The classes of this course unit are theoretical-practical. The theoretical foundations are presented initially and then the practical applications, with examples of calculation. Presentations are made using a computer and video projector. Calculations of the practical component are done in the table. All documentation is provided to students on an e-learning platform.
The periodic evaluation is based on the accomplishment of three development works and a simulation work.
