Working method

Presencial

Program

Development of activities in research and innovation projects according to an individual work plan.

Mandatory literature

Supervisor; Diversos (To be indicated by each student's supervisor, according to the objectives and specific work plan.)

Teaching methods and learning activities

The main methodology is project-based learning. The supervisor is responsible for establishing an initial work plan, divided into four sub-projects, in the context of a research and innovation project, integrated into a team. The student develops the activities foreseen in the work plan and at the end of each module, prepares a report of the work carried out in the corresponding Project curricular unit, which is evaluated by the advisor and approved by the course director.
