New 1st year students

WELCOME TO THE ETSE!

Here is the following information for the start of the 2023-24 academic year for the degrees of the School of Engineering (ETSE):

Contents

Information about enrolment - ETSE information session

Enrolment begins on 14 July (and in September on 6 July) and the Campus Academic Management Office will send specific information to each of you, but you can consult the general information.

Before enrolling, it would be advisable to consult the Teaching Guide where you can find all the subjects that make up the curricula of each course and related information.

On July 13 at 10 a.m., there will be an online informative session on the organization of the master class, problems or laboratory groups of each subject, except for the Degree in Mathematical Engineering and Physics and the Double Degrees, which only have one registration group, and therefore in these studies you can not choose between different groups. This session should make it easier for you to draw up your schedule and therefore help you in your enrolment to choose the right master group. Each Degree or group of grades will have a different virtual room that will be made public right here on July 13 at 9 a.m.

Basically, what will be discussed is what is explained in this recommendation document:

Online rooms for the information session

Teams Room Link GEI+GEIbiotec [Degree in Computer Engineering (GEI) + Double Degree in Computer Engineering and Biotechnology (GEIbiotec)]

Team Room Link GEE+GEEIIA+double degree [Degree in Electrical Engineering (GEE), Degree in Industrial Electronics and Automation Engineering (GEEIIA), Double degree GEE and GEEIIA]

Teams Room Link GEB+GESST+Double degree [Degree in Biomedical Engineering (GEB), Degree in Telecommunications Systems and Services Engineering (GESST), Double degree GEB and GESST]

Synthesis classes of the ETSE

From September 12 to 22 (both inclusive) what we call synthesis classes (or zero course) will be held, which aim to synthesize the knowledge of Mathematics and Physics that you should have achieved from your previous academic stage. These classes do not involve any additional cost to the registration and it is not mandatory to attend.

Who do we recommend to attend the synthesis classes?

Once you have enrolled, after approximately one day you will be able to access the URV Virtual Campus with your institutional username and password assigned to you. There you will find the two spaces COURSE ZERO, where you will have all the information about the development of these courses.

The schedule and classroom of these classes depend on the Degree where you have enrolled:

Students of the double degree GEE-GEEIA will also find the zero course of Chemistry, which you can also attend. Only for this double degree. Timetables and classrooms indicated on the Virtual Campus of the Chemistry course.

If someone is enrolled in a degree that does not appear in this list and meets any of the 5 criteria indicated above, they should contact the academic secretary of the ETSE: setse(ELIMINAR)@urv.cat

Academic tutoring of the ETSE

The tutor is a teacher from the center who gives you continuous support while you are a student of the center, in order to respond to the problems and needs related to university life.

The assignment of the tutor is made a few days after formalizing the enrollment. Each student is assigned the same tutor while they are enrolled in the same Degree. After enrolment, you will have access to the Virtual Campus, where you will be able to access the subject material and also to the Academic Tutoring space, from where you can interact with your tutor.

You will find the contact details of your tutor in the tutorial area of the Virtual Campus and on the website of your department:

In the Welcome Day the first tutorial session will be held, in which the tutor will explain the usefulness of the tutorials during your stay at the University and the annual tutoring sessions to be carried out. You will also be able to consult any doubts you may have regarding ETSE teaching, the Campus, classrooms and laboratories, the services offered by the URV, continuous assessment, etc. There will usually be 3 tutorial sessions during the course: at the beginning, at the end of the first semester and at the end of the course. In addition to these sessions, you can contact the tutor at any time you need to. During the degree you will be able to comment in the tutoring sessions on topics such as optional subjects, mobility abroad, the realization of External Practices, the development of the Final Degree Project, etc.

You can find more information about tutorials here.
