The teaching and learning methods will be based on the teacher presenting the material and the work done by the student in class, as well as the student's work outside of class.  In class, students will be involved in discussions of topics and case studies (Case Based Learning) as well as in the practical solving of exercises or problems.  As a unique element, this course participates in P2I Projects, interdisciplinary research projects that combine knowledge from three courses in the same year and semester into a single project (Project-based learning).  With simultaneous guidance from the teachers of the three courses, these projects are completed with presentations and defenses in front of a jury (Team-Based Learning). They encourage students to integrate knowledge from different areas, reinforcing their holistic view of the subjects, and also allow practice in teamwork and certain research routines.
