BEAT (Biomedical Engineering and Assistive Technologies)
The main goal of the course is to present basic concepts of electrophysiology, the main types of disabilities in humans (sensory, physical, communication and intellectual) and possible technological solutions to minimize their impact.
Software Testing
The main goal of the course is training students in the foundations and basic skills of software quality assurance through software testing. The course starts with an introductory section with definitions of basic aspects and philosophy of testing, a core section focused on design of test cases with black-box and white box approaches and a final part on the tools which support testing and make it easier and efficient.
Transmission lines
This course is focused on the study of the propagation of waves in a transmission line. Several practical lines are further analysed as well as their main transmission properties. Some different practical exercises are proposed using an electromagnetic simulator.
Introduction to teletraffic engineering
This course will help the students understand the basics of traffic theory (queues and teletraffic) focused on its application in computer networks, but generally applicable to many fields where a queue is involved. From a Maths perspective, we will work with the queues of type M/M/1, M/M/1/N, M/M/N, M/M/N/N and M/M/N/N/p.
