Selection technique and assignment
Procedures

The student can look for, and choose for himself, a company, architecture studio or public institution where he wishes to do the practices/internship. Alternatively, he can also send his resume to the internship coordinator, when there is an offer on the job board. It is recommended to prepare a curriculum/resume or a graphic portfolio with projects and work done at the school, so that the company, studio or institution can make a previous selection with good knowledge and criteria.

Specific action plan / execution
  Description
Introductory activities Explanation to the student of the mechanisms of External Practices/internship. Explanation of the documentation necessary to register the activity.
Mechanisms for coordinating and monitoring external work experience Coordination and follow-up of the student's external practices/internship. It may also involve prior knowledge of previous work, and the adjustment of the student's abilities to the internship requirements.
Work placement Time that the student dedicates to the tasks commissioned by the company, studio or institution.
Presentation and defence of external work-experience assignments The student presents a compilation of the works carried out during the internship (in the form of a report)
Report The student prepares a report that includes the work done during his internship.

Coordination and monitoring mechanisms
Es durà a terme una coordinació interna (per part de la universitat) i una coordinació externa (per part del centre de pràctiques).
Description

The coordination and follow-up tasks of the internship are undertaken together by the coordinator and the student in order to adapt the learning outcomes to the internship tasks. It may also involve prior knowledge of previous work carried out by other students in practice, and the adjustment of the student's abilities to the practice site. A report by the tutor of external internships is required to explain and score the work carried out by the student. The student must present to the internship coordinator a memory-summary of the tasks carried out so that the latter can evaluate it.
