Study first Graduate class in ICT Engineering @ UPF
The Engineering@UPF Teaching Quality and Innovation Support Unit made a study about the first Graduate class in ICT Engineering: Bachelor's Degree in Audiovisual Systems Engineering, Bachelor's degree in Computer Sciences and Bachelor's degree in Telematics Engineering (Class of 2009-2013).
The study covered three aspects: academic, personal, and professional/plans of future. More than half of the graduates took part in the study.
From the results it can be seen that, among the general competences that participants perceive as the most integrates and assumed, the ones that stand out are: innovation capacity and creativity, entrepreneurship, problems resolution, and teamwork.
One aspect that especially stands out is their great satisfaction regarding the Bachelors Final Project, which they understand as an opportunity to improve their competences as well as their academic and training management, and regarding internships and the Faculty. Almost a 90 % of the graduate students in ICT Engineering at UPF had an external internship.
Another highly valued aspect among the students is the fact of having taken courses in English.
The 88% of the participants was working at the end of 2013 and in all cases they were ICT Engineering-related jobs.
