Escola Secundária de Caneças came to learn about electronic systems
On February 11th, we received a visit from some students of the Caneças Secondary School. The presentation of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (DEEC) was given by Professor João Fernandes, in one of the auditoriums of the North Tower. The professor introduced the courses and some of the extracurricular activities available.
After the presentation, the students visited the Energy and Sustainability and Electronics Systems modules.
The first module was also presented by Professor João Fernandes, who showed the students experiments with superconductors, used in the construction of high-speed trains, using magnetic levitation.
The second module was presented by Professor Pedro Tomás, who discussed the operation of some electronic systems, as well as a research project aimed at restoring the vision of blind people.
The visit ended with a group photo taken at the entrance of the building and an invitation for more visits to the DEEC.
