Teaching and Learning Methods
All courses are taught in Portuguese language, and the teaching process is undertaken using a mixture of theoretical and practical processes. Theoretical lessons are usually supported by:
- Theoretical/Practical lessons where the students guided by the teacher have the chance to discuss and resolve problems.
- Practical lessons, where the students are challenged to solve practical problems in laboratories, ateliers or computer facilities and able to apply the theoretical knowledge that they already understood and learned.
