This course aims to bring together technological concepts of various materials used in an engineering project. You will study and apply technical resources to carry out projects, integrating the different kinds of technology involved (mechanics, electronics, control and computing) and use tools to manage projects in the context of companies.

This course focuses on the fundamental principles and practices of user interface (UI) design. You will learn how to analyze and design user interfaces to make its interaction as simple and intuitive as possible, while accomplishing the goals of the user. A number of topics this course will cover include: UI vs UX, the UI design process and its conventions, visual principles, components design, or hierarchy and composition.

The aim of this internship is for you to gain an insight into company or institutional organisation, to gain autonomy in carrying out the tasks of an engineer, to apply your theoretical knowledge to professional practice, to gain a deeper understanding of scientific techniques in diverse areas, and to contribute individually or as part of a team. You will work closely with a supervisor who will guide and advise you.

The Optional External Practicum can be chosen as an extension of Internship I.
