Teaching Methods
Continuous assessment during laboratory classes gives access to the written examination. Minimum approval of 9.5/20 in the exam.
Learning Outcomes
Different techniques of materials and surface characterization will be issued. Principles and case studies will be addressed for each technique, preferably within the student’s work. This practical approach ensures the resolution of real problems and is useful for their doctoral plan.
