Theoretical instruction is delivered through traditional expository methods, complemented by activities that foster continuous and collaborative learning. Laboratory sessions provide opportunities to apply the theoretical concepts through integrative assignments, which are accompanied by provisional reports contributing to the summative assessment. To enhance the teaching-learning process, theoretical classes incorporate frequent references to industrial use cases, offering concrete illustrations of practical applications. Students are also encouraged to consult relevant online resources and engage with innovative and illustrative video materials related to the course content.
