Group discussion and evaluations

One of our main concerns is to promote the active participation of the students, not only for them to collect information.

After each module is finished, a practical exercise is proposed to the students, which has to be solved individually or in groups and then discussed in the classroom.

This approach requires the students to revise their notes, think about, and get involved and to learn how to face real problems. More than 10% of the time is allocated to this activity.

Proyecto fin de Máster (MSc Thesis)

To be done after the lectures completion.

Agreements have been reached with AIRBUS and other industries and research centers, to do the Thesis at their facilities. Acceptance is done by the industry on a case by case basis.

This Master Course is offered as a Diploma of the Polytechnic University of Madrid.
