Presentation of the subject


The Final Degree Project (TFG) should be understood as the culmination of studies leading to the obtaining of a 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 prescribed or established contents for this subject given its nature of synthesis of the entire 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 will go beyond the regulated contents of the Degree and advance towards others that by their nature (advanced beyond the Degree level, specific to areas of knowledge that are not specifically covered by the Degree, etc.) have not been considered in the rest of the subjects that make up the Degree's 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.

Activities and evaluation system


The TFG Academic Tutor and the TFG Evaluation Committee participate in the evaluation of the TFG. 

The Tutor's evaluation is only qualitative, not quantitative, and has no weight in the final grade. 

  • The Tutoring Department provides control, monitoring and advice on the TFG. 
  • For each submission - preliminary draft, interim report and final documentation - the Tutor fills out a checklist of whether or not each of the objectives of each submission has been resolved. 
  • The Tutor writes a report continuously, from the beginning of the TFG to the end, with:
    • The validation checklists for the preliminary project stages, interim report and final documentation and a monitoring assessment of each stage. 
    • Attach the minutes submitted by the student from the 6 to 9 follow-up meetings throughout the course and make a follow-up assessment of these meetings. 
    • It makes a final assessment of the results obtained in the TFG and of project management skills such as planning, budgeting, interviews and diversity management, feasibility assessment or testing. 
  • THE TUTOR APPROVES OR DOES NOT APPROVE THE STUDENT'S PRESENTATION AND FINAL DEFENSE OF THE TFG. If the tutor does not approve, the student does not have the right to defend it and no evaluation panel is formed. 

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

  • 10% corresponds to the formal evaluation of the report
  • 10% corresponds to the formal evaluation of the public presentation
  • 80% corresponds to the evaluation of the work done, taking into account the memory and the defense made by the student

The evaluation is 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
  • Design of information systems, software architecture, graphical user interfaces
  • Desenvolupament 
  • Testing 
  • Planning and budgeting
  • Feasibility analysis
  • Bibliography and citations

Any form of academic fraud will be sanctioned in accordance with the center's assessment regulations. If signs of fraud are detected, including the improper use of generative artificial intelligence tools, the subject's teaching staff may call the student for an individual interview with the aim of verifying their authorship.
