General description O alumno realizará un proxecto de investigación aplicando os coñecementos adquiridos nos módulos Reoloxía e Termomecánica.
O Traballo Fin de Máster realízase baixo a dirección conxunta dun profesor da UDC e un da UParis7, na UDC, na UParis7 ou nun organismo público de investigación ou na industria, sendo posible combinar a estancia en varios centros se o director considérao oportuno. Sempre que sexa posible, recoméndase a estancia dos estudantes franceses en España e dos españois en Francia.

Methodologies
Methodologies Description
Research (Research project) Students apply the skills acquired (knowledge and techniques) throughout the program to solve specific problems in the field of research. Moreover, the translation of the results into a document, allows students to structure the information obtained, and compare with bibliographic data and be able to cross check and evaluate it.
Oral presentation The presentation of Master's Thesis before a court gives the student the ability to prepare the defense of a project, public display in a clear and concise way and defend on the basis of the expertise or the experience of others.

To help achieve a sustained immediate environment and meet the objective of action number 5: "Healthy  and sustainable environmental and social teaching and research" of the "Green Campus Ferrol Action Plan":

          The delivery of the documentary work carried out in this subject:
               - They will be requested in virtual format and/or computer support
               - It will be done through Moodle, in digital format without the need to print them.
               - If it is necessary to make them on paper:
                  - Plastics shall not be used
                 - Double-sided printing shall be carried out.
                 - Recycled paper will be used.
                 - Printing of drafts shall be avoided.

A sustainable use of resources and the prevention of negative impacts on the natural environment must be made.
