Angeles Lopez; M. Asunción Castaño; M. Victoria Ibáñez; Ismael Sanz; Lledó Museros; Reyes Grangel – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2025
The Bachelor's Degree in Computer Engineering at University Jaume I has a capstone project in which the student develops, during a 300-hour internship in an enterprise, a real-world project. We collected data for five academic years to analyze the assessment process to propose a new hybrid model, which combines analytic and holistic assessment and…

Kang, Jin; Girouard, Audrey – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2022
Objectives: Internships can bring a host of professional and academic benefits to students. Then, how do User Experience (UX) internships influence Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) graduate students' professional and academic growth? What are the challenges experienced by HCI graduate students during internships? We explored these two research…
