[ACTION REQUIRED] Enrolment in Problem/Practical Shifts.

5 novembro 2024, 10:05 • António Pedro Dias Alves de Campos

Dear students,

DPE is a continuous evaluation course in which students are challenged to identify a real problem and tackle it by developing an innovative product. A key part of the product development process is your Product Development Team. To form dynamic, multidisciplinary teams with a broad skill set, faculty will form Teams based on each student's background and skill set.

Before forming the groups, students must enroll in a Problem/Practical (PB) class shift. This should be the shift the student attends from day one since Problem/Practical classes serve for group members to get together, discuss, and communicate advances and future steps with faculty.

To enroll in a PB shift please complete the following steps:

Go to Fenix > DPE course > Groups > PB shifts AND enroll in ONE of the THREE available groups. Each GROUP corresponds to a PB SHIFT, this is the correspondence:

GROUP 1: SHIFT DPE11PB02 ( Thu. 13:00 - 14:30 - V1.12 ; Tue. 10:30 - 12:00 - V0.07 ) 

GROUP 2: SHIFT DPE11PB03 ( Tue. 10:30 - 12:00 - P8 ; Thu. 15:30 - 17:00 - P13 ) 

GROUP 3: SHIFT DPE11PB04 ( Thu. 13:00 - 14:30 - V1.26 ; Tue. 12:00 - 13:30 - V1.11 )

Note: Previous Fenix enrolment in shifts has no practical effect.

This action is mandatory. Students who do not register for any of the available shifts by November 13, 2024, at 6:00 PM, will not be assigned to a Team and will be assumed that the student will not take the course.

Please notice that there's a maximum capacity of 32 students per shift. After that, no more students will be admitted. If you have any hard restrictions please be fast enrolling.

If you can't enroll in a GROUP/SHIFT,  for any reason, please let me know by email.

Soon, I will provide you with a form to fill out and submit, allowing the faculty to form teams based on the distinct backgrounds and skill sets of students who attend the same problem shift.
