Matlab and Simulink are used as software for the practices.

Lectures: Master classes will cover the necessary concepts to achieve learning objectives, while also serving as a tool to facilitate debate and generate student curiosity.



Classroom Practices: These sessions will be used for conducting exercises, solving problems, and presenting assignments, fostering active student participation throughout.



Laboratory Practices: Lab sessions will provide practical verification of acquired knowledge through the use of software tools for modeling and simulation.

The course has established a method of continuous assessment, making class attendance necessary.



To pass the subject it will be necessary to obtain more than a 4 on the exam and have completed the practices satisfactorily.



Failure to attend the written exam will result in a "no show" grade.



Students have the right to be evaluated through the final assessment, regardless of participation in the continuous assessment. To do this, students must submit in writing to the faculty a waiver of continuous assessment, within a deadline of 9 weeks from the start of the semester or academic year, according to the academic calendar of the institution.



The final evaluation will consist of:

• a written exam (60%)

• a practical exam in the laboratory (40%) covering the concepts taught during lab sessions and classroom practices.

Power Point presentation and notes of the subject (practice scripts, exercises, auxiliary documents).
