Objectives

The UC Projecto aims to the final thesis.


The report of the UC Projecto regards the work, essentially of applied character and engineering, typically associated with the development of equipment, simulators and software packages, experimental techniques, and testing with specific practical application.

Learning outcomes and competences

The presentation of the thesis should reflect the knowledge acquired during the course and self capacity to carry out research in advanced scientific fields.

Working method

Presencial

Pre-requirements (prior knowledge) and co-requirements (common knowledge)

Approval to the UCs of the course program including compulsory and optional UCs chosen by the students according to subject area selected for specialization.

Program

The theme and the work plan are proposed by the  supervisor and the student, and later approved by the Scientific Committee of the CE.

Mandatory literature

Master Student; Thesis

Comments from the literature

The References include the works searched by the student in preparing the thesis work.

Teaching methods and learning activities

The completion of the thesis involves the study of the state-or-art, the definition of the objective and tasks that lead to the desired results. After this step, the student starts writing the thesis to be delivered to defense.


This course is clearly favorable to the development of integrated problem analysis skills from concept, through the understanding of physical phenomena and ending in applications. The teaching methodology taking into account a strong interaction between the teacher/­student through lectures tutorials lab/computing supervised by the supervisor (s). This methodology has as main advantages the transmission of knowledge through contact with different perspectives, allowing students to learn different methods of problem solving and different perspectives, whether scientific, or technological, thus enriching the students' experience in situations practices. On the other hand, the application of acquired knowledge to real cases has proven more effectively for learning, especially in advanced studies, also allowing students to achieve easier and solidly the planned objectives. So this way it is hoped that students at the end have acquired tools and concepts so that they can be easily integrated in the labor market or pursuing higher studies.
