A Look Back

* What did you like most about the program?
  • quema
  • relax professors
  • lots of stories to engage students
* What could be improved?
  • extra classes
  • shorter breaks
  • easier assignments
* What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? the Sustainable Energy Systems at Coimbra is a demanding program, is not entirely challenging a person mind or development, but; combine with the interface with MIT, the program has a lot more left to desire. I wish that I knew the program is not fully supported by the U.C, although the U.C is providing the platform. is so confusing ..
