Experiences in involving students of final Degree courses in research projects as an alternative educational tool

In response to some of the objectives of the Bologna Declaration, we have developed a series of experiences with students of the last academic courses in the Degree of Engineering in Industrial Electronics. These experiences are intended to include research tasks on the agenda of some of the subjects in the Degree. The idea is to apply these experiences in coming years as an alternative educational tool to the Degree in Industrial Electronics and Automation Engineering. It is believed that the development of these practices in the Degree courses will help the Spanish Universities to be closer to the objectives of the Bologna Declaration, at least to those related to the adjustment of the new University Degrees to the society requirements.
