This course is the first research work part that all program students must carry out.  The work developed must include the suggestion and analysis of a problem, as well as its solution´s specification and design. The above may be accompanied by a prototype or an initial development stage. The final result must be a significant contribution (at least with respect to the suggestion, analysis and initial design) to the global project scope.

Final part of the research work initiated in Thesis 1. The project initiated in Thesis 1 must be completed, in such a way that an initial, and hopefully significant contribution to the area in which it was developed is made. At the end of the semester, students must provide a document describing the problem suggested, the status of the related art, the proposed solution and the results obtained. Students must also justify their work publicly. The thesis committee, comprised of the student advisor, and at least two juries (one of them external to the Department) will assess the work using the following criteria: knowledge of art status, project development, justification, document and final product result.

The department will authorize enrollment to a tutorial course to students having a justifiable undeferrable need to attend a course in an area where no elective courses are offered, who comply with the requirements established by the program.

The Department will authorize enrollment to this course to students who must attend to a three credit and level 3 Systems Engineering undergraduate professional elective class. The subject professor must assign additional work to the student attending this special tutorial, which will be equivalent to 1 credit.

Sub-area:  Graphic IT. It is also valid for: Formal Methods for the basis to develop and use systems to support decision-making based on image processing. At the end of the course, students will obtain knowledge of the basic techniques of image processing and the analysis that can be achieved with them. Students must develop criteria that will allow them to decide on the usefulness of these techniques in a particular situation. Cases applied to non-destructive quality control, biology and study of engineering materials will be addressed.

Sub-area: Graphic IT. The course presents the status of arts in in the mixed reality applications field.  It also fosters the creation of skills needed to develop this type of applications. Such skills are valuable in areas where this technology is applied, such as oil exploration, immersive game development, virtual architecture design, industrial design, civil engineering and automotive design, among others. The following are the related areas of research: scientific visualization, information visualization, immersive environments for education and entertainment, games, virtual reality and augmented reality, among others. The course benefits from the Colivrí laboratory resources (colivri.uniandes.edu.co), the first of its kind in Colombia. Through the multi-disciplinary environment of Colivrí, students may explore new applications of the mixed reality concept.
