- Learn new methods and technologies, building on basic technological knowledge, to be able to adapt to new situations.
- Resolve problems with initiative and creativity. Make decisions. Communicate and transmit knowledge, skills and abilities, in awareness of the ethical and professional responsibilities involved in a telecommunications engineer's work.
Learning Outcomes
- Apply the appropriate methodology to develop a problem, combining theoretical development and simulations as appropriate.
- Develop curiosity and creativity.
- Develop independent learning strategies.
- Efficiently use ICT for the communication and transmission of ideas and results.
- Evaluate project results and compare them with similar results from external sources and identify new contributions by the project to current knowledge on the subject.
- Generate innovative and competitive proposals in professional activity.
- Identify the specific objectives of the project
- Maintain a proactive and dynamic attitude with regard to one's own professional career, personal growth and continuing education. Have the will to overcome difficulties.

The contents of the internship will be determined by the work plan that will be agreed between the company, the student and the academic tutor. In order to approve the proposed work plan, the contents must be adapted:
- To the profile and the academic situation of the student.
- To the specific competences of the undergraduate degree in telecommunication systems engineering.
Important: Work plans written in a generic manner and without a clear list of tasks with competencies in the field of telecommunication engineering will be rejected.

Internship announcements
Three possible sources of offers are available:
-
Proposals from the School of Engineering, for placements in collaborating organisations. Offers are posted in the Coordinació module at the Campus Virtual.
-
Offers of non-curricular placements made by the "Servei d'Ocupabilitat de la UAB" (employment service). The coordinator verifies that the training project meets the subject's needs in terms of its competences and characteristics. An agreement on curricular placements must be drawn up between the School and the company, and signed.
-
Proposals from students themselves through direct contact with a company or based on an offer posted on online platforms or social networks. Before signing the agreement and starting the placement, the coordinator has to confirm that the training project meets the requirements of the subject.
Internship duration
The duration of curricular internship agreements must be for a total of 300 hours.
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.
Assessment
Continous Assessment Activities
