| In a multidisciplinary society |
The proposal for the work in groups C is centered in the resolution of problems or situations of the society in which we live, no strictly related with the Telecommunication Engineering, so that the students comprise its implication in multiple fields of the society and how they can influence in giving solutions based on their competencies and engineering skills.
