Content
This subject does not have its own theoretical content.
Methodology
The protocol to follow is the following:
1) the teacher publishes, throughout the course, in the subject space on the Virtual Campus, a certain offer from a company and specifies the deadline for the students to express their interest.
2) interested students express their interest through a FORMS questionnaire
3) the teacher makes the award of the companies among the interested students based on the average of the academic record and the passed credits or other requirements specifically requested by the company in question. The teacher assigns the practices for each student based on the previous prioritization. The teacher selects 3 students for each offer, if the company so requests.
4) the students contact the company, following the teacher's instructions, and if this is the case the company makes the final selection.
5) the student selected by the company writes the ACTIVITY PROPOSAL document that is published on the Virtual Campus and sends it to the teacher by e-mail
6) Once approved by the professor, especially the TASKS section, she sends it to Academic Management of the School of Engineering to draw up the University-Company agreement. From this moment on, the student can register for the subject and start doing the Internship.
For more details regarding the Virtual Campus consultation procedure or contact the teacher in charge.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.
