Learning Goals
The students will acquire knowledge that will allow them to carry out a study or develop an
energy project, while integrating the knowledge acquired during the study cycle. The project can
be developed in a business environment or at the University under the supervision of a teacher.
Students will also develop skills in project implementation, in the collection and critical
interpretation of relevant scientific and technical information, and in the preparation and defense
of technical reports written according to the rules and methods generally accepted. Students
will also develop skills in autonomously approaching the proposed tasks, always under supervison.
