Competencies and objectives

 

Course context for academic year 2021-22

In this course the student will deepen into real projects falling in fields that are beyond the core knowledge acquired in conventional subjects of the degree, with a significant demand in the society of today and demonstrating a multi-disciplinary component. Different skills and techniques in these particular fields will be acquired enabling the future graduates to properly document the projects, both technically and formally. They will address the fields of solar photovoltaic generation, electronic security and particularly, the data processing centers. The teaching methodology will be based on a practical teamwork.

Basic Transversal Competences

  • CT2 : Students should know how to apply their knowledge to their job or vocation in a professional manner and should possess those skills that are usually reflected when preparing and defending arguments and solving problems in their field of study.
  • CT3 : That students have the ability to gather and interpret relevant data (usually within their area of study) in order to make judgements that include reflection on relevant social, scientific or ethical issues.
  • CT4 : Students should be able to transmit information, ideas, problems and solutions to both specialist and non-specialist audiences.
  • CT5 : That students have developed those learning skills necessary to undertake further studies with a high degree of autonomy.
