They are individual abilities related to the ability to express one's feelings, critical skills and self-criticism. Social skills related to interpersonal skills, the ability to work as a team or the expression of social and ethical commitment. These skills tend to facilitate the processes of social interaction and cooperation. We highlight the following:
They are the skills and abilities that concern systems as a whole. These skills include the ability to plan changes so that improvements can be made to the systems as a whole and design new systems. Systemic or integrative skills require the prior acquisition of instrumental and interpersonal skills. The most notable are:
The End of Degree Project must verify the acquisition and integration by the student of the general and specific skills of the degree.
The End of Degree Project must verify the student's acquisition of general skills by designing and developing an engineering project of sufficient complexity, concentrating the effort from the perspective of innovation, emphasizing its development in a work team. Part of your workload may be devoted to simulation and/or research work. In its implementation, the student must also acquire personal skills linked to the search and organization of documentation, presentation, group work, etc.
