Objectives

This project aims to assess the students' ability to meet the real world research challenges and to promote their professional integration in scientific research institutions as well as in IT companies.

Learning outcomes and competences

During this project students should be able to:

1. be integrated in the institution's research work processes;

2. apply the knowledge gained in the first three years of the study cycle in analyzing and solving scientific problems.

Working method

Presencial

Program

The projet proposals are created by lecturers and researchers associated with the Department of Computer Science, of the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Porto.

Mandatory literature

<>; <> (The be suggested by the external supervisor)

Comments from the literature

Teaching methods and learning activities

The project will be coordinated by a supervisor from FCUP. The final grade will be given based on the assessment reported by the supervisor and on a final report prepared by the student.

Evaluation Type

Distributed evaluation without final exam

Eligibility for exams

A minimum of 10 points in the final evaluation by the supervisor.

Calculation formula of final grade

The internship will be evaluated according to the following directives:

Autonomy with which the work was done
(Information to be provided by the external supervisor)

• Low - difficult to progress autonomously; 
• Average - some autonomy but with blocking situations that required the intervention of the advisor; 
• High - very good ability to solve problems independently eat intervention advisor focused on defining the next steps of the work.

Satisfaction of objectives
(Assessed by the report and the external supervisor's information )

• Low - reached to the minimum objectives admissible for the proposed work;
• Average - the objectives were reached  though not entirely;
• High - reached up fully, or even exceeded up, the objectives set. 

Intrinsic difficulty level of their work
(Assessed by the report and presentation/discussion)  

• Low - relatively easy work, both from a scientific or technical point of view, based on widespread knowledge;
• Average - work with some high complexity of details requiring more advanced knowledge/expertise, either technical or scientific;
• High -  relatively complex work, requiring a substantial knowledge and technical skills, or resulting in some innovative contribution.
