Abstract:
The main objective of this work is to design a monitoring and evaluation system for the general, specific and transversal competences acquired by students during the completion of Final Degree Projects (FDP) and Final Master's Projects (FMP) at the Nuclear Engineering Area of the Polytechnic university of Valencia (UPV), Spain. The monitoring of these competencies will make it possible to assess the progress and students' level of mastery in relation to theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the area of medical physics, radiation protection or nuclear safety, as well as their ability to apply them in real-world research, industrial and clinical practice situations. The work carried out in the area of nuclear engineering is eminently so that students find an unbeatable opportunity, not only to to develop the competencies of the subjects involved, but also to put in internships, different skills acquired throughout their degree.

On the other hand, considering that RD 822/2021 establishes the organization of teaching and promotes the inclusion of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and democratic values in the curriculum, this teaching project is an opportunity to guide and update contents of the FDP and FMP and thus improve the teaching performance. Therefore, this project aims to contextualize the themes of these works in the current social, economic and environmental framework, taking as reference to the SDGs. More specifically, they are considered in this innovation project the SDGs:
- Goal 7: ENERGY. Ensure access to affordable, secure, sustainable, modern and sustainable energy.
- Goal 3: HEALTH. Ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all in all ages.
