Description


The Final Degree Project (TFG) must be understood as the culmination of the studies leading to the obtaining of the graduate degree. It involves the student carrying out a project, study and / or work in which a good part of the knowledge, skills and abilities acquired during the studies are applied, integrated and developed. 

The TFG can be a research work and / or a project to create a computer application, an information system (or part of it), a computer network or any product specific to the attributions of an Engineer. Computer.   

There are three types of TFGs:

  • The TFGs proposed by the Faculty of the Degree
  • The TFGS proposed jointly by collaborating companies and professors from some of the areas of work of the Faculty
  • The TFGs proposed by the students, who must pass an assessment phase to determine their suitability or not as a TFG of the Degree

The student will have to prepare a report and defend his / her work before an Evaluation Court.  

Contents


Due to its uniqueness, there are no regulated or established contents for this subject given its nature of synthesis of the whole Degree. In this sense it can be said that all the contents of the Degree are potential contents of the Final Degree Project (TFG). In addition, it is also expected that in some cases the student goes beyond the regulated contents of the Degree and advances towards others that by their nature (advanced beyond the level of Degree, own of areas of knowledge that are not specifically those covered by the Degree, etc.) have not been considered in the other subjects that make up the Degree Curriculum. 

As mentioned in the previous paragraph, all those that affect the elaboration of the Report of the TFG and its presentation before the Evaluation Court will be considered own contents of the subject.

Evaluation system


The evaluation of the TFG consists of two large blocks, the part corresponding to the Academic Tutor of the TFG (30%) and the part corresponding to the Evaluation Court of the TFG (70%). 

More specifically and with regard to the part corresponding to the Academic Tutor:

  • 10% depends on the evaluation of a preliminary project that the student must deliver
  • 10% depends on the evaluation of the first version of the working memory (the buffer)
  • 10% depends on the evaluation of the final documentation (the final report) 

This part of the evaluation will be based on public rubrics and takes into consideration aspects related to:

  • Documentation format
  • Writing style
  • Spelling and grammar correction
  • Definition of the object of the work
  • Definition of objectives and scope of work
  • Previous study (state of the art, markets, etc.)
  • Definition of the methodology 
  • Definition of functional and technological requirements where applicable
  • Planning and budgeting
  • Feasibility analysis when appropriate
  • Bibliography and citations

Regarding the part of the evaluation that depends on the Evaluation Court:

  • 7% corresponds to the formal evaluation of the report
  • 7% corresponds to the formal evaluation of the public presentation
  • 56% corresponds to the evaluation of the work done, taking into account the memory and the defense made by the student
