The three stages of the model
Choose your path
Exploration
You will open your competency file and add to it throughout your degree program.
You will learn the foundations of the area of Engineering - Applied Sciences.
You will participate in fundamental and exploration challenges from the area of Engineering - Applied Sciences, interacting with peers from different degree programs.
You will study general education courses, selecting them from a collection.
You will participate in a challenge that integrates all the competencies to be developed in this phase.
Focus
You will acquire the core competencies of your degree, in other words, those that distinguish it.
You will participate in more focused challenges to reinforce what you have learned and broaden your basic knowledge.
You will have the elements to decide whether to deepen your knowledge or diversify and, subsequently, build your specialization plan.
The Tec Weeks, challenges and overall university experiences will enrich your file.
Specialization
You have decided between diversifying or focusing deeply in your major, which you will achieve by choosing a concentration or a stay, to name a few of your options. The TEC Semester is a flexible time to start.
You will develop the competencies related to your specialization, increasingly connected to your passions, interests and plans.
By passing a concentration, you will develop your competencies, and, on graduating, will be a candidate for obtaining a Diploma in that concentration, after meeting the established requirements.
