| //Elin Lönnqvist//: Going on exchange is something everybody should try, you will develop yourself and become more secure. I have also learned to work with people from different countries with different cultural personalities. To learn languages is important for me, and it is something that I will use in my future working life. This semester I got the ability to improve my English and learn some Portuguese. The EPS semester was not really what I expected, I thought I were going on a 4.5 months vacation in a warm and sunny country. Well I was wrong… It was more school than I expected, and Portugal was not that warm and sunny as I thought. The project was interesting and I could not ask for lovelier team members. For future EPS I hope there will be a better explanation what kind of skills is needed for every project, before choosing it. A little bit less programming and electronics in the projects would be nice. And hopefully another solution to wikipage is found, now much extra and unnecessary work is made due to that website. Overall I am glad I took the opportunity and went on an Erasmus, but I hope the EPS@ISEP will listen at the feedback and think about them so the next Erasmus can enjoy their semester even more. | //Elin Lönnqvist//: Going on exchange is something everybody should try, you will develop yourself and become more secure.

| //Marion Cullié//: This semester abroad was a rewarding adventure and I enjoyed each moments. Thanks to this EPS, I worked in a really cool international team with different backgrounds as in a future professional environment. This allowed us to develop our skills and learn new knowledge. Also, live in a foreign country, discovered a new culture and travel around beautiful landscapes gave us so many memories. Finally, I can say that I have grown from this experience, I could improve my English, learn from this project, from the others and about myself. | //Marion Cullié//: This semester abroad was a rewarding adventure and I enjoyed each moments. Thanks to this EPS, I worked in a really cool international team with different backgrounds as in a future professional environment. This allowed us to develop our skills and learn new knowledge. But there are some bad points which slowed us such as later feedbacks and the use of the wiki page. However, it was incredible to live this foreign country, discover a new culture and travel around beautiful landscapes. Finally, I can say that I have grown from this experience, I improved my English, learned from this project, from the others and about myself. |

| //Simone Smits//: I am thankful for having the opportunity to participate in the EPS at ISEP, it was was an amazing experience to be in Porto learning many new things and meeting new people, while discovering Portugal and its culture. Within the EPS I improved my soft skills and broadened my knowledge, but the project was very technical and I could not apply a lot of my study like I hoped to. Also the organisation was not always that great and clear like I am used to. I did had a great team and I am glad we successfully made it until the end together. | |

| //Mikk Tootsi//: During EPS I learned a lot, especially in the field of electronical engineering. It was my first time writing a code and I`m really glad that finally after many hours working on the code it was working correctly. Working in a multicultural team was a really good experience. Our team was working together perfectly! I liked Portuguese, communication and project management classes. I’m thankful for this opportunity and ISEP also I want to thank all the supervisor and teachers who really came and helped us out with our project! | //Mikk Tootsi//: During EPS I learned a lot, especially in the field of electronical engineering.

| But there was also a lot of negative. I feel that most of the module classes did not taught us anything useful, they were really basic and started to repeat themselves. We lost a lot of time where we could have just focused on the project. I was hoping that we will finish the project much earlier and can enjoy our last days here in Porto but we are still working on the project even after the final presentation. I have heard that the EPS in other countries has nothing to do with electronics but here all the projects include building and electronical prototype and writing codes. Don’t get me wrong, I prefer the more applied EPS but the bad thing is that there was only one person in the whole EPS group who had experience with electronics and coding and here we only had two classes on Arduino, which were also really basic and too early in the semester. There should be more classes on electronics and coding also after when the components are received. I also didn’t like that we only received the feedback on Thursday meetings even if we already saw the supervisor during the week. I would prefer that the teachers/supervisor would have visited us more in the class, that way we would have received the important feedback and help on time and we would have worked more efficiently on our project and made better prototype. | But there was also a lot of negative.
