Learning Outcomes

This course's main objective is to develop a work plan that allows the successful implementation of a complex project with a broad view of several factors.

By the end of this course, the student must be able to:

CO1. Interpret problems analytically, critically, and ethically with the adoption of engineering science and best practices (Bloom Level (BL): 5/6)

CO2. Formulate analytically, and critically a literature review respecting ethical principles (BL 6/6)

CO3. Create an integrated project plan considering its scope, schedule, cost, quality and risk to build an achievable timeline and set interim milestones and checkpoints for monitoring progress (BL 6/6)

CO4. Create analytically, critically, and ethically a work proposal, including the elements that guided it and an integrated project plan with tasks needed to answer the research questions and reach a solution, including those needed for the acquisition of missing skills and work evaluation (BL 6/6)

CO5. Present work orally and in writing with technical, scientific, and ethical rigour and discuss it assertively (BL 5/6)
