Teaching Procedures
The teaching methods used:
• Expository methods
• Exploratory strategies in order to:
o Laboratory Method (learning by individual discovery of specific software);
o Learning by individual research underlying the implementation of a task in a specific field;
• Use of the simulation in order to place the student at the teaching/learning center .
• Thereby bring closer the theoretical and practical requirements of the real labor market.
Theoretical components are taught using a combination the exposit in (concepts) and and participatory methods. In practical components the participative approach and problem is used, solving in a cooperative
learning strategy.
The continuous assessment comprises:
• Individual theoretical test
• Individual practical test
