Objectives

The Final Degree Thesis (TFG) is a subject in the last year of undergraduate studies that is essential to obtain a degree in any specialty.

The TFG aims to:

Elaborate an academic work.
Consolidate technological knowledge received in the study plan.
Participate in situations specific to a professional activity.

Learning outcomes

It applies technical resources to develop technical office projects and integrates different technologies that are part of mechatronics.
It consolidates and interrelates technological concepts from various subjects of the degree in Mechatronic Engineering.
Write technical information in English regarding the specialty of the degree.
Critically analyze the results obtained.
Effectively presents orally the results obtained in practices and assignments.
Uses language (verbal and non-verbal) appropriately in personal and professional interaction in Catalan, Spanish and English.
It collects and interprets data and information on which it bases its conclusions, which include reflections on matters of a social, scientific or ethical nature.
Use language that respects gender, both in oral and written productions.

Skills

General skills
