Abstract
Bachelor and Master engineering theses assess professional competencies. These theses evolved to meet professional demands, verifying a good preparation. Historically, Spanish engineering required rigorous final projects for professional practice, regulated by professional colleges to ensure quality. These works became formal curriculum subjects, in which students should demonstrate their skills and knowledge, addressing real sector needs and benefiting from industry collaborations. Without formal teaching to standardize these projects, tutors guide students in planning and problem-solving. This chapter presents a case study of an innovation project to simplify and virtualize theses processes in engineering degrees. The initiative provides virtual resources, standardized procedures, and equal opportunities, facing resource access issues and supervision variability. A virtual platform with training modules, guides, and mentoring programs benefits students and can model other universities. These deliverables enhance learning experiences, preparing them for successful careers.
