Objectives
By the end of this subject, students will be able to have: 1. Knowledge and understanding to develope, execute and manage industrial engineering projects, according to good practises, standards and regulations. 2. Awareness of the wider multidisciplinary context of engineering. 3. The ability to apply their knowledge and understanding to analyse engineering products, processes and methods. 4. The ability to apply their knowledge and understanding to develop and realise designs to meet defined and specified requirements. 5. The ability to conduct searches of literature, and to use data bases and other sources of information. 6. An awareness of the non-technical implications of engineering practice. 7. Function effectively as an individual and as a member of a team. 8. Demonstrate awareness of the health, safety and legal issues and responsibilities of engineering practice, the impact of engineering solutions in a societal and environmental context, and commit to professional ethics, responsibilities and norms of engineering practice. 9. Demonstrate an awareness of project management and business practices, such as risk and change management, and understand their limitations.

RA2.2 The ability to apply their knowledge and understanding to analyse engineering products, processes and methods. RA3.1 The ability to apply their knowledge and understanding to develop and realise designs to meet defined and specified requirements. RA4.1 The ability to conduct searches of literature, and to use data bases and other sources of information. RA5.4 An awareness of the non-technical implications of engineering practice. RA6.1 Function effectively as an individual and as a member of a team. RA6.3 Demonstrate awareness of the health, safety and legal issues and responsibilities of engineering practice, the impact of engineering solutions in a societal and environmental context, and commit to professional ethics, responsibilities and norms of engineering practice. RA6.4 Demonstrate an awareness of project management and business practices, such as risk and change management, and understand their limitations. CB1 Students have demonstrated possession and understanding of knowledge in an area of study that builds on the foundation of general secondary education, and is usually at a level that, while relying on advanced textbooks, also includes some aspects that involve knowledge from the cutting edge of their field of study. CB2 Students are able to apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional manner and possess the competences usually demonstrated through the development and defence of arguments and problem solving within their field of study. CB3 Students have the ability to gather and interpret relevant data (usually within their field of study) in order to make judgements which include reflection on relevant social, scientific or ethical issues. CG2 Knowledge and ability to organize and manage projects. Knowledge of organizational structure and the functioning of a project office. CG4 Knowledge and capacity to apply current legislation as well as mandatory specifications, requirements and norms in the area of mechanical engineering. CG7 Knowledge, capacity to analyze and assess the social and environmental impact of technical solutions, and to apply environmental, and sustainability technologies.

Learning activities and methodology
Classroom lectures, seminars, practical exercises, laboratories and personal assignment. Additionally, the student will make a project or several parts of projects to fix and demonstrate abilities, where the student will carry out a part of personal work and another of group. Furthermore, the student will participate in conferences, seminars and debates on project management and labor insecurity for the mechanical engineer.
