Useful information that I am finding out about FEUP and DEEC

FEUP

Getting your access card
To get the FEUP access card you must be in SIFEUP (Sistema de Informação da FEUP, or so I was told). If you are not yet in SIFEUP, ask Rosário Macedo about it.

If you have a SIFEUP login, upload a picture of yourself and CICA will have a card ready for you within 2-3 days.

Access to buildings, rooms, and parking lot
For access permission to buildings, labs, rooms and parking lot, you need first to get an access card (see above). Then talk to Dr. Isidro Ribeiro to arrange the permissions you need within DEEC. He will also tell you whom to talk to to get permission to other rooms.
Library
The big cube between the main buildings and the students' parking lot is the library. You need to get registered at the entrance to be able to lend books, and you will need to have an access card to get registered.

DEEC

Video-conference Room
DEEC has a video conference room: I025. Be sure to book well in advance, as it is often in use. Call Dr. Rosário Macedo to book the room.
Teaching Assignements
This is on the verge of changing, so check whether this is still true at the time you read it (status June 28th 2010).

Address your section coordinator (in Telecommunications, currently Prof. Mário Jorge Leitão). Ask him/her for the still open assignements for the semester(s) you are looking at, and let him/her know your preferences. They try to fullfill the preferences to the most, but seniority usually gives priority. So, if you wish to teach any course, look up the responsible in the previous edition and contact him/her, asking if there are needs or letting him know about your availability.

Even if you wish to teach courses under the coordination of other sections, you should first address the coordinator of your section.

MSc Thesis Co-supervision within FEUP
Professor in charge of the MSc thesis co-ordination for the year should be informed as soon as possible of the co-supervision and be provided with full name and affiliation of co-supervisors.
MSc Thesis Co-supervision with other institutions
If that cooperation is officially with you as a FEUP professor, and not another external institution that you may be affiliated with, tell Dr. Rosario Macedo about it and it will be added to your supervision time.
PDIS
Juri should agree on a grade and inform professor responsible for PDIS coordination of that grade. If there is no consensual grade, juri should agree on a way to average grades proposed by different juri members (average, weighted average, ...).
Exams
You are the one who should take the paper for the students into the exam. You can find exam paper in room I021, where you can also find a copier that you may use to make the copies of the exam.
Travelling
Ask Prof. Aurélio Campilho for authorisation, for which you will very likely need a reason and a cost estimate for the trip (you are usually entitled only to max 3-star rated hotels). He will inform you of the cost centre for the trip and let Dr. Isidro Ribeiro know. Then ask Ana Paula Silva to assist you with booking and paperwork.

If you wish to book hotel or flight yourself, you will have to request permission in writing from the Director. Just send an email explaining why you want to book yourself.

If you book anything yourself, be sure to get a receipt for it with the exact following text on it:

Universidade do Porto - Faculdade de Engenharia

NIF: 501413197

Office material
Can be requested per email from the teaching assistant, in 2009-10 Ana Paula Silva.
