Objectives
By the end of this subject, students will be able to: 1. have a systematic understanding of the key aspects and concepts of their branch of engineering 2. apply their knowledge and understanding to identify, formulate and solve engineering problems using established methods 3. have an understanding of the design methodologies and use them 4. perform bibliographic research, and use data bases and other sources of information 5. select and use appropriate equipment, tools and methods 6. have an understanding of applicable techniques and methods, and their limitations 7. have an awareness of the non-technical implications of the engineering practice 8. use diverse methods to effectively communicate with the engineering community and with society at large 9. 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; 10. recognize the need for lifelong learning and develop it by oneself
Skills and learning outcomes
Description of contents: programme
Original exercise to be presented and defended in front of an academic committee. The work will be a professionally oriented integral project in the specialty field, where the different competencies acquired in the degree can be demonstrated; or an innovative work developing an idea, prototype or model of an equipment or system in one of the fields of the specialty.
Learning activities and methodology
Students apply competences and knowledge acquired during their studies in a Project from an area of the degree program, concluding with a written report. The foregoing reflects the corresponding project`s analysis, resolution of issues and conclusions. The Project represents 299 hours/0% on-site. The student will defend their Project in front of a tribunal, clearly presenting the corresponding points with resolution of any problems arising in the Project. 1 hour/100% on-site. The tutor for the Bachelor´s Degree Final Project helps and guides the student in all aspects necessary to carry out a solid final Project, and to write a corresponding clear and professional report. The tutoring sessions can be on-site or on line.
Assessment System
This is done through an oral Bachelor's Degree Final Project defense before a tribunal selected to assess the student's work, the learning outcomes, and its presentation, according to an evaluation model. Prior to the defense, the student must have duly presented their written report to the tribunal members. Every student must provide evidence of B2 level English language proficiency. This can be achieved by producing an official certificate or by passing an English level test. Having passed in the UC3M a number of courses taught in English that are worth 60 credits or more is also considered a valid proof of proficiency. English level can never be demonstrated through the final report (by, e.g., appending an extended summary written in English). In addition, the originality of the Bachelor Thesis is evaluated. The University uses the Turnitin Feedback Studio program within the Aula Global for the delivery of student work. This program compares the originality of the work delivered by each student with millions of electronic resources and detects those parts of the text that are copied and pasted. Represents 100% of the evaluation.
