	Description
Master Session	The professor explains the theoretical contents of the course, encouraging critical discussion and the student involvement. Reading assignments for each session will be previously available via FaiTIC, and students are expected to come to the theoretical class having completed the assigned reading.
Case studies / analysis of situations	The study and analysis of actual technological solutions completes the theoretical presentations. This activity includes the study of different alternatives, commercial devices or systems, cost and power estimation, environmental impact and performance analysis.
Projects	This activity focuses on applying the techniques described in the lecture classes and the skills developed at laboratory to a mini-project implementation. These sessions are developed in a laboratory with skilled equipment. Students should obtain well founded solutions, choosing appropriate methods and devices. These projects are planned and tutored in small size groups.
Presentations / exhibitions	The project developed by the students must be oral presented by the authors.
Laboratory practises	During laboratory sessions the student learns the design, hardware implementation, verification and measurement of basic optoelectronics circuits. All the sessions are guided and supervised by the professor.
