In the afternoon of the 11th, students from António Damásio Secondary School came to visit the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (DEEC). The visit began with a presentation of the department by Professor João Fernandes, who spoke a little about the undergraduate programs and activities available at Técnico.
The students visited the Energy and Sustainability and Multimedia and Telecommunications modules.
The first module was also presented by Professor João Fernandes. The students learned how the electromagnetic induction mechanisms used in the construction of some high-speed trains work.
The Multimedia and Telecommunications module was presented by Professor Carlos Fernandes. The students learned a bit about the history of electromagnetic waves and how radio waves are transmitted in different situations.
The visit ended with a group photo taken at the entrance of the building and an invitation for more visits to the DEEC.
