The objective of the work is the application of the concepts and fundamentals that are explained in class and the basic structure will be related to the order and structure of the topics that are explained throughout the course. The teacher will gradually supervise and supervise the group so that the group can gradually develop the work as the topic develops.

The delivery of the work is scheduled for the last week of the school period, although it will be adjusted to the student's time availability.
