Learning outcomes |
This course aims to enable students to master or acquire advanced knowledge of the most commonly used office computer tools. Specifically, it intends to equip students with skills in using the most advanced word processing and presentation software, preparing them to use spreadsheets as a decision-making tool in companies through their computing capabilities, analysis of large amounts of data, simulation, modeling, and optimization. Furthermore, it aims to prepare students to use the MATLAB computing environment to create, analyze, and simulate models in various areas, such as industrial control or financial management.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The techniques, tools, and functionalities studied will be presented, introduced, and immediately demonstrated through practical examples. Skills are then developed with new applications proposed to the students.
In the evaluation process, three assessment moments are considered to be carried out:
Moment 1: Assessment in WORD+PPT+EXCEL – Weight: 40% (April 16, 2026).
Moment 2: Assessment in MATLAB – Weight: 40% (May 28, 2026).
Moment 3: Continuous Assessment (CA) – Weight: 20% (active participation in classroom, homeworks, classes attendance).
Students who obtain a minimum Teaching-Learning Classification of 9.5 points will be exempted from the Exam(s).
To be granted “Attendance” and, therefore, the possibility of taking Exam(s), students must attend at least 70% of the classes taught throughout the academic semester and obtain a minimum Teaching-Learning Classification of 7 points (“Attendance”).
