Teaching Methodologies
The contact hours are tutorial orientation classes. Teaching methodologies are based on active and collaborative
learning in order to promote positive interdependence, encourage individual responsibility and autonomous work,
improve communication, develop interpersonal skills and support periodic self evaluation and progress
assessment.
The evaluation includes an informal distributed component resulting from the meetings between all involved
persons. It also includes a progress report when planned and the public oral presentation and discussion of the
Project Work in the presence of a jury. This presentation is performed according to the
master regulation document. The evaluation is defined by the jury considering at least the following aspects:
Quality of the technical and scientific contents;
Quality of the presented document;
Quality of the presentation and ability to discuss arguments;
The contribution of the work to the company (if one involved), school and society.
