Abstract (EN): the Master of Civil Engineering (MEEC) at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP) is a 5 years' study cycle. To integrate and monitoring the new first-year students on MIEC, by other students who attend advanced years, the CIVIL'in program has been developed. The monitoring is conducted by tutorial during the first academic year, being assigned to the new student a single tutor, who has the responsibility of helping the new student in its integration from the beginning of the study cycle until the end of the first academic year. A teacher, who will assess the difficulties, observes the progress of students and gives some advices to the questions raised by the tutor, monitors the performance of the tutor in this new and challenging mission. This initiative, in addition to allowing a better integration of the new students in FEUP, also enables the tutors to develop soft skills such as positive attitude, teamwork, leadership and communication skills that will he relevant for their future integration in enterprise environments.
