Starting out at university with team projects

Published: 26 June 2010 Publication History

Abstract

In this work we describe the design and outcomes of a Starting-Out Project, which was conducted at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid's School of Computing before students started their courses, as a welcoming and guidance activity. One goal is to motivate students, while, at the same time, familiarizing them with the institution, its services and associations, and fostering social integration. As an educational objective, the project intends to train and assess students in basic horizontal skills related to teamwork and effective oral communication.
