Resumen
In this paper we present an innovative experience for the Bachelor's Degree inMathematics, University of Murcia. A group of students had to, first of all, develop aresearch project as part of the course “Laboratorio de Modelización” from the thirdyear. The objective of the task, “Development and combat of a Zombie infection”, andits depth was determined by the students, who had to use TIC to create computersimulations which helped their study. Next, students should turn their work into aresearch result and submit it for publication in a professional journal, as well aspresent and defend it at a proper congress or conference. The responsability ofchoosing the journal and conference, as well as the preparation of the work and itsdefense lies with the students. This experience presents an innovative approach inour faculty, not only because it adopts the scheme of “Projects Based Learning”, butalso because it extends beyond a subject, and even the temporary end of anacademic year, to try to reach transversal skills of the Degree in Mathematics andintroduce students to the practice of a mathematic researcher
