Prerequisites
Recommended the completion of a minimum of 120 ECTS.
Objectives
The integrated project may fall within one of three modalities: 1. Scientific project, 2. Company project and 3. JUNO project. Learning objectives will depend on the specific project, but in general students should: - apply the knowledge acquired during their degree to undertake a project of a scientific, technological or management nature. - extend their knowledge to areas not covered in their degree. - search, obtain, compile and summarize information (scientific, technical, legislation, interviews, polls) relevant to the project - plan and execute experiments, analyse and interpret data, develop mathematical models, perform computer simulations - develop Critical and Innovative Thinking, Intrapersonnal and Interpersonal Skills. - write and orally present and discuss a technical report. This project could serve as a seed for the master dissertation theme
Program
The project is initialy defined by the supervisors or under the supervisors guidance. It can be carried out individually or in groups, and take place at IST or outside IST (universities, research centers or companies). The following types are possible: 1. Scientific project: an in-depth and academically rigorous analysis of a scientific, technological or management challenge. May include experimental and/or computacional work. 2. Company project: individual project focused on a specific challenge posed by a host company that requires a solution or analysis targeted for short term implementation. 3. JUNO project: multidisciplinary team work based on real and complex problems/challenges posed by companies or other institutions that require inputs from students from different courses of IST or the University of Lisbon.
Evaluation Methodology
For project types 1 and 2 a report must be submitted for evaluation and discussion by a juri of at least) two professores.
Cross-Competence Component
During the development and evaluation of the project students have the opportunity to develop different sets of Soft Skills. While the specific skills developed will depend on the specific project, the students in general will have opportunity to develop skills related to i) Critical and Innovative Thinking (Creativity, Problem Solving Strategies), ii) Intrapersonnal Skills (auto-discipline, enthusiasm, preserverence, self motivation) and iii) Interpersonal Skills (communication, organization, decision, initiative, oral presentation, writing). The percentage of evaluation associated with these skills should be around 30%.
Laboratorial Component
