Competences
Type A Code Competences Specific
 CM15 Have knowledge of and apply the fundamental principles and basic techniques of intelligent systems and their practical application.
 CP3 Be able to evaluate the computational complexity of a problem, know algorithmic strategies that may lead to its resolution and recommend, develop and implement the one that will guarantee the best performance in accordance with the established requirements.
 CP4 Have knowledge of the fundamentals, paradigms and techniques inherent in intelligent systems and analyse, design and construct IT systems, services and applications that use these techniques in any field of application.
 CP5 Be able to acquire, obtain, formalise and represent human knowledge in a computable format to solve problems through an IT system in any field of application, particularly those related to aspects of computation, perception and action in intelligent environments and settings.
