In order to guarantee a sufficient offer that makes it possible for all students to take this subject, the Final Projects Degree may be of one of the following typologies:

• OWN: Projects from among those offered by the Departments of the School of Engineering or the Ceit.

• THIRD PARTY: Projects developed in the framework of an agreement, with companies, organizations or other universities.

This instruction regulates the administrative and academic procedures for the application, realization, presentation and evaluation of the PFG in the degrees of Degree of the School of Engineering.

• The enrollment of the PFG must be done as an additional subject (in summer or in the extension of enrollment in January). If for fill in the degree program a student student is only missing the PFG, he/she must register for it in order to maintain the status of student. It is essential to be enrolled in the PFG in order to submit it. However, it is not necessary to be enrolled in the PFG to start working on it. If a student wishes to undertake the PFG in a company, the administrative formalities will be done through the Foreign Relations Service at Tecnun. The public defense will be made before a Tribunal composed of at least two persons.

• The deadlines for the defense are:

  • September 7 for the ordinary convocation.

  • September 8 for the re-sit examination period.

From the defense of the PFG to the generation of the certificate of PFG will not pass more than fifteen days, so that in that deadline the grade will be included in the file of student.

• The deadline for the application of Withdrawal for the PFG will be one week before the corresponding defense deadline .

• The student, depending on the topic chosen for its project, must contact the Project Manager, hereinafter PR , who will assign an Academic Supervisor (the student will carry out the PFG in which the topic of its project is framed, regardless of its degree program).

• The PR may exceptionally assign, after previous application and study, projects of its subject matter to students who are not from the corresponding Degree , if it considers sufficient the competences acquired by the student in the Degree studied.

• The Academic Supervisor will be responsible for directing the project of the student and will give his approval before the submission of the digital report .

• The minimum dedication of project is set at 300 hours of work for 12 projects ECTS credit.

The Project Manager of department will set the date for the defense, will appoint the members of the Tribunal and will send them the corresponding Sheet of grade.

• The public defense of the PFG will take place on the date agreed upon. After the defense, the Tribunal will only inform the student if the PFG has been considered Pass or not, without communicating the grade numerical. Finally, the Tribunal will give the Project Manager the grade Sheet and the latter will publish the grade in the certificate. The Court will evaluate the project under the following weighted criteria:

  • Difficulty of topic

  • Structure and content of the project

  • Presentation (figures, plans, etc.)

  • Oral defence

  • Answers to the Court's questions

  • Dedication and rigour in production

The project end of Degree/master is a mandatory subject that the student can be carried out in a company. In order to be considered as an Academic project it must be validated by the professor in charge of final projects Degree/master assigned by Tecnun.

Depending on the subject and content of project the teachers are:
