Methodologies

Methodologies   ::  

	Description
Case study	A variety of teaching methodologies will be employed in the more practical content areas. Design Thinking Workshops. With the aim of achieving some of the competencies of the subject, it is planned to carry out a series of "workshops" whose goal is to stimulate the critical and creative thinking of the students through the development of innovative products. These workshops will use the Design Thinking methodology. With it, it is intended that the students generate ideas for an innovative product, process, or service and determine its technical and market viability. Work in these workshops will be done in groups. Technology Surveillance and Valorization Workshops. With the aim of associating the theoretical knowledge of the subject with practical experience, it is planned to carry out a series of practical sessions whose objective is to understand the process of technological surveillance and commercialization of technology. These sessions will utilize the platforms Lens.org and Google Trends. With them, it is intended that the students will be able to detect disruptive technologies that can create new industries and generate technological changes in established industries. Work in these workshops will also be done in groups. Case Studies. The cases invite discussion of real situations from the business world, where the student is expected to improve their analytical skills by producing quantitative and qualitative evidence to support their arguments and recommendations. In the case method, the student will first have to work individually, carefully read the case, and think about the case. In class, the professor presents a summary of the case, poses the questions, and stimulates group discussion. At the end of the class, the students will submit their case resolution, in which they must extract the useful lessons and observations that are inherent to the situation of the case and that arise from the discussion.
Tutorship of group	Students will be required to attend the mandatory tutorials in groups on the days and times set by the professor for learning monitoring and continuous assessment.
Lecture	The course development is structured into two weekly sessions. The majority of the topics will be covered in theoretical-practical sessions. The theoretical and practical content will be interconnected and will span 15 weeks across eight themes. The more theoretical content will be delivered through participatory lessons, in which the instructor presents the topics and encourages active participation in class. The student will have access to the materials presented by the instructor in class, as well as readings that will allow for a deeper study of the topics.

Recommendations

Other comments

• Regular attendance and punctuality in class are recommended. • Only students who have attended classes regularly and have submitted all the required activities in practical sessions will be eligible for an Honors Enrollment, which is achieved with a grade above 9.7. • Students may request individual tutorials to resolve doubts about the syllabus at any time. Those interested should request them in advance via the professor's email. • A student who requests a review of an examination should be aware that the entire examination will be reviewed, including questions where the highest scores were obtained. • Emails sent for any matter should include the standard minimum information, which encompasses the purpose of the email and the name of the sender. • If for some reason the Moodle platform experiences technical failures, assignments may be sent to the email address of the professor in charge of the practice. • The submission of reports or cases via email should include, in the body of the message, the name of the student submitting it, the course, the name of the case or workshop, and the practical group to which they belong. • Not following the recommendations of this guide may significantly affect the grades of the assignments and presentations.
