Prerequisites

Those defined in the UAB permanence regime, in the section corresponding to the enrolment progression.

Since this is a fourth year subject, the student must have passed all first year subjects and a total of 120 credits from subjects comprised in the first three years.

Objectives

The objective of the External Practices is to put students in touch with the professional world, so that they can apply and complement the competences acquired throughout their Degree studies through a training activity supervised by the School and carried out in a company or external institution This training activity allows students to acquire a practical vision of the world of work and professional practice, thus facilitating their employability.

Learning outcomes

  2. Evaluate discrepancies between the objectives and planning of the project, identify the causes of these discrepancies and adopt the necessary corrective measures.
  3. Plan a project using a Gantt chart.
  4. Evaluate the results of the project comparing them with similar results from external sources and identifying the new contributions made by the project to current knowledge about the subject.
  5. Seek, pose and expose different alternatives highlighting the importance and risk in relation to the execution of the project.
  6. Apply the ideal methodology to develop the problem, combining theoretical developments and simulations as required.
  7. Synthesise the information obtained and one's own knowledge in a structured overview of the state of the art of the project's subject.
  8. Develop critical thinking and reasoning.
  9. Develop the capacity for analysis and synthesis.
  10. Develop systemic thinking.

Contents




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:

  1. Proposals from the School of Engineering, for placements in collaborating organisations. Offers are posted in the Coordinació module at the Campus Virtual.

  2. 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.

  3. 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 295 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

Continuous assessment activities

Title Weight Hours ECTS Learning outcomes
Internship report 30% 0 0 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 13, 14, 18, 19

The assessment of the intership consists of two elements:

  • Internship report (30%): brief summary of the activities carried out and results obtained.
  • Tutor's report (70%) evaluating the internship.

The document lenght is restricted to 20 pages. Free format. The contents should follow a structure similar to that of a Bachelor’s Thesis (TFG), including an introduction, a literature review (state of the art), the development of the work, results, and conclusions.


Bibliography

In each case, the student's tutor at the company / external institution will propose the adequate bibliography depending on the work to be carried out.

Software

  • Depends on the company.
