MUPIC COURSE

It is important to understand the roles of all participants of the MUPIC educational model.

Four important roles are defined:

1. Team
2. Coach
3. Experts
4. Company contacts/experts

Ad1) A team consists of students from several universities/HE institutions (it is important that each university is from a different country). Ideally, each team should have from 5 to 6 students.

Ad 2) A coach is a lecturer/professor whose role is to meet with a team on regular basis and monitor their work progress. The coach helps the team manager to solve any problems by giving advice. When any problem occurs the coach is the first person to be contacted. Apart from monitoring the team, the coach is responsible for providing a feedback summary to the team after each checkpoint and the final evaluation. The coach does not evaluate the team reports.

Ad 3) An expert is a professor who is available to discuss field-specific questions. The expert is not the coach.

Ad 4) A company contact/expert is a person whose task is to be available to the students and answer questions connected with the real-life assignment.
