Teaching methodology
The methodology consists of classes in which they are presented and proposed to develop the issues students must solve cases and present the teacher and the rest of the class, debating the solution adopted. This system is intended to engage students in the techniques developed in this subject and are aware of the training needs they require.
In the section on Virtual Instrumentation, during classes will be held, as an exercise, use practices and program design in posts LabView LFI Laboratory of Electronic Instrumentation.
In summary, the main lines which includes the teaching methodology of the course are:
- Master classes.
- Presentation and discussion of papers.
- Problem solving.
- Labs in Virtual Instrumentation.

Development of a work in any of the following topics:
- Microsystems
- Nanotechnology
- Optoelectronic Devices
- Semiconductor Technology.

Teaching Methodology
The teaching methodology is based on project based learning (PBL). By conducting a complete project, the student acquires the knowledge needed in the development of each of the modules.
