Lectures will be exposed using slides, videos and examples.

Then students can ask questions and suggestions about examples. Finally application exercises will be conducted using laboratory instruments and software related to the subject. The active participation and creativity of students will be encouraged.

The seminars will be included to address specific issues of both the management of design and development tools, presentation of special contents or English for foreign language students.

Students with special educational needs should contact the Student Attention Service (Servicio de Atención y Ayudas al Estudiante) in order to receive the appropriate academic support

General requirements to pass the course:

• Class attendance (mandatory).

• Realization of the proposed exercises.

• Elaboration and presentation of a long-term work.
• It is taken into account: the quality and presentation of the exercises, an d the involvement of students in the subject.
