CRITICAL ASPECTS IN THE FORMULATION OF THESIS PROJECTS IN CONTEMPORARY INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING

Resumen

The aim of the study was to identify the key components to formulate a thesis project in industrial engineering to address current challenges from a perspective that responds to the demands of sustainability and global development outlined by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This is achieved through an exhaustive review of the literature and interviews directed at both mentors and students, investigating the main potential elements of improvement in the formulation ofthesis proposals, based on theODS. 5important sections were taken into account for thethesis project: topic, introduction, justification, literature review andmethodology. Eachofthese had relevant criteria to write the project.
