Presentation
The main objective of the Degree in Engineering and Data Science (LECD) is to provide the future engineer with the basic foundations for the various areas that make up Engineering and Data Science.
This degree guarantees the training of professionals with a wide range of theoretical knowledge, methods and practical skills that will enable them to continue their studies to more advanced cycles, such as a master's degree or doctorate. However, it also aims to enable them to exercise their profession in contexts that involve the operationalisation of fundamental concepts in the design of solutions to problems of small and medium complexity/scale and support for the implementation of complex solutions, whether in the component linked to Data Engineering or Data Science.
Curriculum Plan
The LECD is a 1st cycle degree course with a duration of 3 years and is organised into 6 academic semesters corresponding to 180 ECTS. The course has a curricular structure that includes a common body of 27 subjects (162 ECTS), an open option curricular unit (corresponding to 6 ECTS) and a project in Data Science and Engineering (12 ECTS).
