Limitations in Thesis Development of Systems Engineering: Knowledge and Skills

Abstract

The thesis development is a combined process that requires the student’s knowledge, skills, and self-determination to complete the thesis and reach the desired degree. Despite the efforts made by students, research supervisor and the abundance of information that exists on research methodologies, a good percentage of the students complete the studies but do not complete the research. This research shows the results of a study directed at sixty-six undergraduate students with advanced abilities and knowledge to develop their thesis. The conclusions of the research show the necessity to supplement the knowledge and need for the reinforcement of a research supervisor.
