Abstract
A working group of lecturers of University of Lleida (UdL), involved as academic tutors in Internship, propose to adapt the traditional model of evaluation of Internship to a new competency-based model as proposes The European Space for Higher Education (EEES, its acronym in Spanish). This implies to redefine the evaluation process, introducing objective elements and guaranteeing the integral performance assessment of the students, according both academic and professional profile. The proposal includes the definition of: evaluation process, evaluator agents, competences to evaluate, indicators/evidence of every competency and finally scales and levels of achievements. As a result, we built a rubric of evaluation which includes: competences, indicators, scales, agents and moments of evaluation that can be applied in different degrees of UdL. Moreover we define a final evaluation report which contains learning outcomes and shows findings, conclusions, and recommendations that can be used to guide student’s improvement and decision making about them. This proposal was partially implemented in the degrees of Industrial Engineering, Computer Engineering and Business Administration with very positive students' acceptation but we need more experience and to refine our model, making it simpler and more usable if we want to generalize it to other higher education institution.

Highlights
Our team is formed by lecturers and part time professors from two centres of UdL and has being working as academic tutors o coordinators in Internship at UdL for a very long time
That mark will be the final qualification of the student but we add to it a final evaluation report detailed and personalized for every student which will contain every student’ learning outcomes
We split of the design of our rubric of evaluation, which contains each all the competences fixed in the plan of studies of the corresponding degree
Summary
Our team is formed by lecturers and part time professors from two centres of UdL and has being working as academic tutors o coordinators in Internship at UdL for a very long time. Our team is interdisciplinary and our proposal tries to be general and applicable to several UdL’s degrees and to other higher education institutions. As a result we defined an integral competency-based evaluation process for Internship, applicable in the same field in other higher education institutions, with few adaptations. We define a final evaluation report that shows learnings outcomes of every student. This is the innovative contribution of our work because the use of rubrics is generalized in a huge range of higher educational institutions but not the elaboration. 1st International Conference on Higher Education Advances, HEAd15 of a personalized report where students can have detailed the qualification of every competency evaluated
