The face-to-face classes, which will be taught in the afternoons, in classrooms and laboratories. Part of the internships will take place in computer rooms, and others in specific areas of the center.
The computer rooms are equipped with PCs for 40 workstations each. The laboratories with special characteristics, where Physics and Chemistry and Technology and Computer Science specialties will be taught, are as follows:
- Telematics Lab.
- Lab. of Elec. Digitals
- Chemistry Lab.
- Power Electronics Lab.
For the follow-up of synchronous and differentiated non-classroom teaching, the UPV also has the Videoapuntes platform, which allows the automatic video recording of classroom lectures. There are currently two systems that allow the design and organization of online teaching materials. The first, called PoliformaT, is based on Sakai. Each subject of the curriculum has its own space accessible on the web and is accessed with username and password. The second one, called UPV medium, is based on openEDX. It is the base platform for designing Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs of UPVx).
Finally, the complementary facilities used by the Master’s program are: Information Desk, Secretary’s Office, International Relations, Conference Room, Library, Study Rooms.
