Evaluation Methodology:
The teaching of the syllabus, in the theoretical component, is to present the concepts and definitions. The theoretical-practical component, with the exemplification of power electronics systems, aims to stimulate the development of circuits that are implemented in the laboratory practice component. The evaluation is done with two frequencies, each with a weight of 25%. The practical component is evaluated with four works, each with a weight of 7.5%, and a power electronics project, with a weight of 20%.
