Creativity and Innovation

Learning Outcomes

The curricular unit of Creativity and Innovation presents in an objective and sustained manner the diverse techniques of creation, as working tools. We intend to develop a theoretical and practical presentation of several techniques used to promote creative thinking and innovation in the future professional environments where students will be integrated.

The aim is to promote critical and original thinking and skills to participate in the definition of enterprise goals that enhance the organizations’ competitiveness and success prospects.

Provide students with general notions of industrial property, with emphasis on brands and patents.
