General proficiencies

CB6: Possess and understand knowledge that provides a basis or opportunity to be original in the development and / or application of ideas, often in a research context.
CB7: That the students know how to apply the acquired knowledge and the ability to solve problems in new or unfamiliar environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their area of ¿¿study.
CB8: That students are able to integrate knowledge and face the complexity of making judgments based on information that, being incomplete or limited, reflections on social and ethical responsibilities linked to the application of their knowledge and judgments.
CB10: That students raise learning skills that allow them to continue studying in a way that has become largely self-directed or autonomous.

 

CG2: Project, calculate and design products, processes, facilities and plants.
CG3: Direct, plan and send multidisciplinary teams.
CG4: Carry out research, development and innovation in products, processes and methods.
