Competence to develop:
The student understands and applies the methodology for determining the useful life of the new
product developed.
Topics to develop:
Unit 1. Innovation and process for the new products development.
Unit 2. Technical criteria for the new products development.
Steps, phases of the learning strategy to develop
Phase 5 - Evaluate the new product development. Final Project

For the management of the learning activities will be developed using the strategy of project-
based learning (ABPr).

Step 1. Inform. To finish with the Project development, each student reviews the features of
the new component and the aspects worked in the previous phases about the new product
development and proceeds to perform the individual activity.
Step 2. Plan. Each member of the group assumes a role and presents the work plan to the
interior of the group, where defined as the division of labor among the members of the group.
Step 3. Decide and control. The group proceeds to perform the activities raised in a
collaborative manner, on the basis of the activity assigned or assumed in the plan of work of
Step 2; each student gathers information and shares in the forum, arguing that there was a
response to the statements, to discuss and review the successes and failures, in order
to reaching a consensus, that allows to determine the criteria on the useful life of the new
product developed.
Step 4. Perform. The Rapporteur or compiler, systematizes the information and share in the
forum, in order that each member to review and to submit its comments, to make the
respective corrections or adjustments that are considered relevant.
Step 5. Evaluate. Once you have made the corrections, proceeded to organize the final
project and final review, in order to learn how to better assess the quality of their own work,
for what is taken the assessment criteria presented in the rubric of evaluation as a check list.
Activities to develop
Individual Activity:
 Individual contribution, arguing the answer to the statements
 Interaction and academic debate. Comment to contributions submitted by fellow
 Review and validation of the task group. Comments on the consolidated work by the
rapporteur or compiler
Collaborative activity: from the individual work group carries out the following activities:
The methods to prolong the shelf life of food must be based on the knowledge of the different
mechanisms involved in the deterioration of the food. (Carillo, M. 2007). It is required in the
forum the following aspects about the food product developed in the previous phases:

1. Make a table where mention is made of the advantages and disadvantages of each of the
methods or types of study of useful life of food products.

2. To detect the possible causes of deterioration of the new food product.

3. Identify the factors that contribute to the deterioration, those that affect the useful life of
the product.

4. Define the possible mechanisms of deterioration of the new food product

5. Determine the methodology for determining the useful life of the new product developed.
You should explain step by step the methodology.

6. Select the method(s) of conservation that control the mechanisms of decomposition of

the new food product.
 Knowledge environment: consultation of the bibliographic
references required and complementary to the Unit 1 and 2. OVI
Unit 2.
Environment for  Collaborative learning environment: make significant
the development contributions and make academic discussions in the forum of
collaborative work. Participate in Skype.
 Monitoring and evaluation environment: delivery of the product
group finished.
 Individual: In the forum of the collaborative learning environment the
student will find a topic called "Construction work phase 5"; where each
member can submit their contributions.
Participation and individual contributions:
Original contribution, that demonstrates the analysis of the cutting
information engineering
Interaction and academic debate.
Review and validation of the task group
Collaborative: Group's final work:
1. A Power Point presentation that must be converted to PDF format with
the following structure:

Cover
Work Title: should frame the content of the final project
Introduction describing the purpose of the project and brief summary of
its contents.
General Objective: it must be typed in infinitive and integrate the
purpose of this work.

Specific Objectives: you type in infinitive and must present each of the
deliver by student
components that will be developed in the final work
Proposal criteria on the useful life of the new food product
Final conclusions. In response to the aims and achievements of
learning obtained.
Bibliographic references: general according to APA standards. Submit
all sources (author, date of where they were taken) of the content,
pictures, diagrams, charts and tables.

Remember:

 Include only the names of people who worked on the development of

the project.
 Must upload one document per group in link assigned for the delivery
of the activity in the environment of evaluation and follow-up.
 Review the rubric of evaluation, in order to know what is evaluated
and graded and the topics that must be completed in the guide.
 The file must be named as: Course Code_number of group_Phase_5.
For example: 216005_05_Phase_5
 3. General guidelines for the collaborative work

1. The first thing you should do is to establish the roles for the development
of collaborative work and continue with the planning of the work according to
what was requested in the guide.

All of the interventions and contributions should be evidenced directly in

the forum, not in a single message but in different, according to the work
raised in the guide.
The contributions must be on the job raised and on the contribution of one
or more fellow group members, based on the subjects studied and, as
requested in the guide.
Each participant in the forum should respond by the definitive work
funded by the rapporteur therefore must participate until the end, bringing
about the consolidated work, before being sent by the Monitoring and
Evaluation Environment.

2. The following is a model for the planning of the collaborative work of

students within the group, both at the start of each phase, it is vital that the
diligencian to determine the responsibilities within the group.
