(20 points) Academic performance (r1)Academic performance will be measured in terms of the average grade (g) of a completed bachelor's degree (or master's degree) that is directly linked to the field of electronic engineering or is directly connected to or has a special relevance to the objectives of the GreenChips-EDU project.The calculation will be made by comparing the average grade (g) of the applicant with the average grade (gavg) obtained by all students who have completed the same bachelor's or master's degree in the last 5 years. In the case of degrees where there are not 5 completed promotions, as many promotions as available will be taken into account. Results will be normalized according to the minimum (gmin) and maximum (gmax) grades with which the indicated degree or master's degree can be obtained.Additional considerations:Applicants are solely responsible for providing the g, gavg, gmax and gmin values. In the event that the selection committee does not have any of this data, the application will receive 0 points in this section.This information must be certified by the institution where the bachelor's or master's degree was obtained. 6.2. (5 points) Additional academic merits (r2)This section assesses academic merits beyond those derived from their academic performance. Specifically:(+1 point) If the student has completed a bachelor's or master's degree beyond that used for the calculation of r1.(+1 point) If the student has received a recognition or award for their academic activity. Honors are not included in this consideration.(+1 point) If the student is the author of a publication or poster in a conference or research journal.(+1 point) If the student demonstrates training in the field of sustainability or green electronics.(+1 point) If the student has developed projects related to the field of electronics beyond those required to obtain academic degrees. The concepts listed above are considered independently, with r2 being the sum of all those that the student fulfills in accordance with the documentation provided.6.3. (5 points) Professional experience (r3)The applicant's work experience in the field of electronic engineering will be valued. Depending on the number of accredited hours, the applicant will receive:(1 point) Between 100 hours and 500 hours.(2 points) Between 500 hours and 900 hours.(3 points) Between 900 hours and 1800 hours.(4 points) More than 1800 hours.Applications that prove work experience in the field of sustainability or green electronics will receive an additional point.6.4.
