Abstract
The Bachelor’s Degree Final Project (BDFP) of our school aims to develop a real constructive project, enhance cooperative teamwork and increase productivity of students.We present a real case study, related with engineering and scientific innovation results obtained by BDFP, which has led to an innovative scientific study presented at the 7th European Meeting on Chemical Industry and Environment and published in EMChIE 2015 Conference Proceedings.The objectives of this paper are:Describe the design and implementation of a BDFP of engineering that encompasses the development of the characteristic elements of engineering and constructive work and, at the same time, it is scientifically innovative.Show the methodology used for its development.Present the results obtained.Emphasize the importance of teachers, teamwork of students and the use of real case studies in the conceptual development of a BDFP.Enhance the possibility that the BDFP of Engineering can solve real engineering problems and to be precursors of Innovation and Scientific Knowledge developers.Learn engineering and, at the same time, provide Science new knowledge and applications.

The results presented in the Treball Fi de Grau (TFG) were related to engineering and were constructive as they corresponded to the design
Summary
The academic year 2012-2013 was the last in which in our School, Escola Tècnica Superior d’Enginyeria Química of Rovira i Virgili University (hereinafter referred to ETSEQ by the Catalan acronym), as in many other schools of engineering of the Spanish State, the Final Project Degree of the old Chemical Engineering degree (called PFC by the Catalan acronym; Projecte Fi de Carrera) coexisted with the Bachelor’s Degree Final Project Degree of the new Chemical Engineering bachelor degree (called TFG by the Catalan acronym; Treball Fi de Grau). Know the organizational structure and functions of a project office Ability to design, manage and operate procedures Original exercise that must be performed individually and present and defend in front of a University tribunal, consisting of a project in the field of the specific technologies of industrial engineering of professional nature In this project, the skills acquired in the education must be synthesized and integrated. After the good results obtained from the TFG, it was offered to the students, who in that moment were already graduate and Engineers, the possibility to take advantage of the results obtained and to try to publish them in a prestigious Scientific Forum This fact took place when the work “Chlorine storage design based on risk analysis: cost or safety?” was accepted in the 7th European Meeting on Chemical Industry and Environment in 2015 (EMChIE)
