Assesssment methods and criteria:

Classification Type: Quantitativa (0-20)

Evaluation Methodology:
The teaching of the syllabus, in the theoretical component, is for the presentation of concepts and definitions. The theoretical-practical component, with examples of projects, aims to stimulate computer design, which is implemented in the laboratory practice component. The evaluation is done with three projects of parts of the computers, each with a total weight of 60%, and with continuous evaluation, with a weight of 40%.
