Un ejemplo de un estudiante de Salamanca:
La Tarea
„Mi Praktikum en Cassidian GmbH (Ulm, Alemañia)
tuvo como meta el desarrollo de un generador de
código C++, haciendo uso del lenguaje Java. La
aplicación debía leer información de documentos
en formato excel, de contenido restringido, y crear,
en función de ésta, un código fuente en lenguaje
C++ que siguiera unas directrices dadas por mi
tutor de proyecto, Dr. Pierre Bayerl, todo ello en un
período de tres meses“

La Experiencia
„…al llegar a la empresa todo el mundo fue muy amable y
amigable, haciéndome preguntas sobre mis intereses e
intentando buscar formas de propiciar mi rápida adaptación,
tanto al ambiente de trabajo, como a la vida en Ulm. Para mi
tarea en la empresa, se me exigió un nivel importante de
conocimientos, dada mi experiencia, especialmente en lo
referido a ingeniería de software, pero mis compañeros de
oficina nunca tuvieron ningún tipo de problema a la hora de
resolver mis dudas sobre detalles de programación o
requisitos del proyecto…“

Experiencia en Alemaña
Estudiante de ICEP
„Si pudiera describir mi experiencia en Alemañia con una
palabra sería "increíble". No tengo palabras para describir
todas las sensaciones, sentimientos y experiencias que
ese año me hizo vivir. Es una aventura a lo desconocido.
Es salirte de tu zona de comfort. Es estar dispuesto a todo,
a aprender, a vivir, a tolerar, a comprender. Los amigos que
hice durante mi intercambio los tendré siempre en un lugar
muy especial, ya que éramos gente que no teníamos más
que una cosa en común: a nadie. Por consecuencia, se
convirtieron en mi familia. Definitivamente ha sido un de
las mejores decisiones que he tomado en mi vida.“

Un ejemplo de un estudiante de México:
La Cultura Alemana
Estudiante de ICEP
„La cultura alemana es muy singular. Eso a mucha gente le
causa conflicto, pero si abres un poco tu mente, te das
cuenta que las cosas pueden funcionar de manera diferente
a como funcionan en tu mundo, y no por eso está
equivocado. De hecho, hay muchas cosas que puedes
aprender de ella para mejorar tu sociedad. El gran
intercambio de culturas que se da en Alemañia genera un
ambiente muy global, con todo tipo de tradiciones, manera
de pensar, gastronomías y estilos de vida, que confluyen
en un mismo lugar de una manera armónica.“

El curso ICEP
Estudiante de ICEP
„…La gama de cursos que ofrecen es muy atractiva
para todos los ingenieros del área tecnológica.
Además, con el gran progreso que ha habido en los
últimos años en el área de IT, existen muchas
ofertas de trabajo para quienes están interesados
en tener una vida profesional en el extranjero.“
Finally:
Hoping to see you soon in Ulm…
