Degree in Industrial Electronic and Automatic Engineering

Internships

La Escuela Superior de Ingeniería y Tecnología (ESIT) cuenta en la actualidad con la colaboración de un conjunto de empresas e instituciones cuyo perfil se ajusta a las necesidades del título y que cubren la demanda de matrícula para las prácticas externas  curriculares. Estas entidades colaboradoras tienen formalizados convenios con la ULL (Convenios de Cooperación Educativa), según exige la normativa en vigor. Se puede consultar here the collaborating entities with which we have worked in the different courses since the implementation of the External Internships subject (history) for Industrial Engineering studies. At the end of this page you can also consult the internship offer only for the Degree in Industrial Electronic and Automatic Engineering.

The contact person for any matter related to External Internships is the one who occupies the Subdirectorate of Institutional Relations and the Coordination of External Internships of the Industrial Engineering studies. relindus@ull.es, positions that he currently holds Ms. María Hernández Molina.

External internships in companies and institutions are an essential training complement for future graduates to have direct knowledge of the practice of their profession and face the world of work. It is a subject located in the last year of the study plan so that students can be well trained and can fully develop their profession. In this sense, the degree establishes minimum requirements that students must meet in order to enroll and take the subject. The student must have passed a total of 150 ECTS credits, distributed as follows:

  • The 60 ECTS credits of the Basic Training module (first full course)
  • The 60 ECTS credits of the Common Module for the Industrial Branch (second full year)
  • 30 ECTS credits from the Specific Technology module: Industrial Electronics (which can be covered with third and fourth year subjects)

In any case, and for the reasons mentioned above, it is recommended to take the subject with the highest number of credits passed.

The External Internship subject has a load of 12 ECTS credits and must be taken by students in order to obtain the degree, according to Royal Decree 1393/2007, of October 29, with the aim of providing each student with the following skills and abilities to improve the quality of their training and promote their insertion into the workforce:

  • Knowledge of the organization of professional work in studies, offices, companies, public bodies and industries.
  • Knowledge of professional practice in studios, offices, companies, public bodies and industries.
  • Knowledge of how an industry works.
  • Ability to plan actions and develop projects.
  • Ability to assume responsibility for supervising a work group, assigning tasks and resources (leadership and teamwork).
  • Communication, conflict resolution and negotiation skills (human resource management).
  • Motivation for updating, innovation and research.
  • Awareness about the sustainable exploitation of resources.

Las Prácticas Externas se regirán por la «Normativa de gestión de prácticas externas del estudiantado de la Universidad de La Laguna», cuyo enlace está disponible al final de esta página. Además, el centro cuenta con la labor de la Comisión de Prácticas Externas de los estudios de Ingeniería Industrial, alrededor de la cual se centraliza toda la organización, gestión, evaluación y seguimiento de las prácticas de estos estudios, como se puede ver en detalle en el apartado “Organización de las Prácticas Externas”. Esta comisión dispone de herramientas para el seguimiento de las prácticas que le permiten valorar el buen funcionamiento de la asignatura y el grado de satisfacción de los grupos de interés implicados (Sistema de Análisis y Seguimiento SASPE y Encuestas de Satisfacción del Alumnado de Prácticas Externas). Estas herramientas son un excelente complemento a las que establece de manera general la ULL como institución.

La planificación, desarrollo, evaluación y mejora de la asignatura Prácticas Externas se encuentra actualmente establecida en un subprocedimiento específico del Sistema de Aseguramiento Interno de Calidad del Título (SAIC) – anteriormente denominado Sistema de Garantía Interna de Calidad, SGIC – que puede ser consultado a través del siguiente link.

Organización de las prácticas tuteladas

The organization, management, evaluation and monitoring of external internships in Industrial Engineering studies are channeled through the External Practices Committee (CPE). The following members of this commission are:

  • General Coordinator of External Practices for Industrial Engineering Studies. This figure is the responsibility of the Subdirectorate of Institutional Relations of the Industrial Engineering studies of the ESIT (relindus@ull.edu.es), currently occupied by Ms. María Hernández MolinaThe General Coordinator's main tasks are the search, selection, and communication with appropriate companies and institutions to establish specific collaboration agreements. They must also agree with the collaborating entity on the number of students (places), the duration (dates and times), and the activities to be carried out by the students (training project). They are also responsible for requesting the necessary information from the company and the person who will provide the external tutoring, with a view to preparing the Annex to the Educational Cooperation Agreement for each student and its subsequent signature. This position manages the offering of the three Industrial Engineering degrees and is the point of contact for companies.
  • Coordinator of External Internship Subject. The Coordinator of the External Internship subject receives the offer that has been managed from the General Coordination for the degree. From this subject coordination, the assignment of the internship offer is managed by applying the criteria established in the Teaching Guide, so that each student is assigned to a company and a professor who will provide academic tutoring. The Subject Coordinator of the degree, if necessary, can support the General Coordinator in the search for companies and in the management of the offer.
    • Coordinator of External Internships for the Degree in Industrial and Automatic Engineering: Mrs. Silvia Alayon Miranda (salayon@ull.edu.es)

The management of External Practices is supported by a institutional virtual classroom for the course located on the ULL virtual campus. The virtual classroom will be the official means of communication for the development of the course. The internship offer managed and agreed with the companies will be published there. For the monitoring of the internships, there is also a tool developed by the FGULL: External Internship Analysis and Monitoring System (SASPE).

Planning for internship positions begins once the second semester (June-July) has finished, by sending an initial proposal to potential collaborating entities, which will finally be confirmed in the weeks prior to the beginning of the academic year (September). In any case, management of the internship offer is dynamic and does not close at a specific time, and new positions may be added throughout the development of the course.

Las prácticas se organizan en relevos. En el caso del Grado en Ingeniería Electrónica Industrial y Automática se dispone de cuatro relevos – dos en cada cuatrimestre – por tratarse de una asignatura anual. El periodo de estancia en la empresa es de 150 horas, que habitualmente son 5 o 6 semanas de prácticas (según horario acordado con la empresa).

For the management of extracurricular practices, the contact person is the General Coordinator of Industrial Engineering studies (relindus@ull.edu.es). In order to access extracurricular internships, the student must have passed the curricular internships.

Agreements and vacancies
