Cross Competence Component

The adoption of different approaches to solve the underlying problems is encouraged in project work, as well as the analysis of the potential results on design, operational and economic aspects, thus contributing to the development of Critical and Innovative Thinking. In addition, teamwork and oral presentation of the projects contributes to the development of Interpersonal Skills

Ethical Principles
