Have completed and passed at least 70% of the credits of subjects (modules) of the master (excluding the Final Master Thesis).
This is a practical module, whose main purpose is that the student applies all, or a good part, of the knowledge acquired throughout the master in a specific case.
The student must design, prepare and write a research or applied work within any of the areas of the Master, or a combination of these, and make a presentation of the results achieved.
Description and organization of work
Students decide according to their interests, and with the collaboration of the master's coordinator (if required), the subject of their work. Depending on it, the coordinator assigns the student an academic director (master's teacher) of the work.
In the first interview with the academic director, the conditions of follow-up are set: the work theme is specified, the main aspects of development are discussed and the work plan is established, including the follow-up calendar. Periodic meetings are held throughout the development period in which the principal ensures that the student adequately follows the established work plan. Likewise, the principal advises the student regarding the correct structuring and quality parameters to be considered in the writing of the student's work report. At the end of the work, the director prepares a report assessing the follow-up. This report is made available to the Final Master Tesis (TFM) evaluation commission, as it constitutes one of the evaluation elements.
There is the possibility of realizing the TFM within one of the companies or institutions of the aeronautical sector that collaborate with the master. In this case, in addition to the academic director, the student will have a supervisor in the company or institution. In this modality, the work plan is elaborated jointly between student, academic director and supervisor in the company or institution. From here, the follow-up of the work plan is the fundamental responsibility of the supervisor, with specific periodic interventions by the academic director who, in any case, advises the student regarding the writing of the report, as commented in the previous paragraph. In this case, both the academic director and the supervisor issue reports that are made available to the TFM evaluation commission.
The evaluation commissions are formed by teachers of the master's degree and the evaluation method is the same, regardless of whether the TFM has been developed, or not, within a company or institution.
As a support to the realization of the TFM, the students have a "Guide for the realization of the TFM" in which the organizational aspects mentioned in these lines are detailed and, in addition, they are provided with formal guidelines for a correct elaboration of the memory of the work, the evaluation method is explained and a calendar of the whole process of conducting the TFM is established, including its evaluation.
The teaching methodology used combines the meetings between student and principal, the autonomous work done by the student himself, and the presentation of the results.
