The University of Castilla-La Mancha has launched a program that links final degree and master's projects with specific needs of companies in the region. The initiative aims for students to apply their knowledge to real problems, improving their employability and generating practical solutions for the local productive fabric.
Technical development: prototypes and software applied to real cases 💻
The projects range from web platforms for logistics management to IoT systems for energy efficiency in SMEs. Students work with agile methodologies and tools like Python, React, or Arduino. Each final degree project is tailored to a specific challenge, with functional deliverables that companies can test. The program includes joint tutoring between faculty and technical staff from the companies.
Happy companies, students with CVs, and professors with less paperwork 😅
Business owners, delighted to receive free work under the guise of a university project. Students, happy to have something to put on LinkedIn other than their delivery schedule. And professors, relieved not to have to read another analysis of a hypothetical case from a non-existent company. Everyone wins, although the intern now knows what an 8 AM meeting is like.
