Although the school acknowledges the need to develop " the competitiveness of companies, organizations and industries country-wide, thus contributing to improving the life quality of its citizens and to the sustainability of a society ", the purpose of the graduation project is to ensure that students identify and understand a problem, and that they suggest and propose a technology-based solution.   This way, transversal competencies are developed, such as effective communication, engineering problem formulation and resolution, systems, components or process designs that meet the specifications desired: experiment design and execution, and data analysis and interpretation.

Learning spaces based on innovation projects, selected from those made in ISIS 2007 Product Design and IT Innovation for its characteristics in innovate technology, potential of the group as director of the project, and sustainability. Based on guidance work of a board made up of two businessmen-mentors and a professor, students are expected to consolidate their proposal and develop skills of internationally competitive project management, teamwork and effective communication. The goal is to bring the proposal to a project in a context, with the identified strengths and concrete achievements contrasted with the business environment associated to the project theme. The group should be established as the project director.

Based on guidance work of a board made up of two businessmen-mentors and a professor, students are expected to consolidate their proposal and develop skills of internationally competitive project management, teamwork and effective communication. The goal is to bring the project and the team to a stage, where they will be able to participate in an International IT Innovation Contest, where the innovation strengths and sustainability are noticeable and value. This presentation should be accompanied by a prototype that illustrates and creates results certainty.

The course objective is to study different scenarios in the decision making process within organizations. The required analysis, integration strategies, data structures, methodologies, technologies and support tools are also studied.

The course initiates with an overview of standard enterprise information systems for administrative support (General Ledger, Payroll, Inventory, Invoicing, etc.), as well as some typical business processes (order-to-cash, procurement-to-pay, etc.). Then, some important concepts are studied to acquire a good understanding of Enterprise’s Vision, Mission, Strategy, Value chain, Competitive forces, etc., which serve as framework to conceive and justify useful projects of Enterprise information systems. A practical project is developed with an ERP system. Finally, principles of change management are introduced, to deal with the deployment of Enterprise Information Systems.

The objective of this course is to generate in the student the skills necessary to design and build solutions in mobile devices, using a specific software development process. Students deal with heterogeneity in development and deployment. Here is understood by non-conventional, when there are restrictions in one or more of the following dimensions of execution environments: hardware, real time, storage, processing, power, weight, interfaces, visualization and communication.

Generate computer graphics with current hardware, specifically GPUs. Know and apply basic concepts in 3D graphics: primitives, transformations, reference systems, textures, lighting, GPU shaders. Know some advanced algorithms in computer graphics

The overall goal of the course is the study of problems and solution methods related to the motion planning for mobile robots working on different tasks and under different control modes (from tele-operation to autonomous definition of motions). Topics of study focus on the application with ground mobile robots.
