Industrial Training - Summer Practice

In the summer of the third year, students can opt to participate in industrial training. Students are able to gain engineering-work-related experience and to learn more about real-life business company operation from internships, which last from a minimum of 8 weeks (40 days) to more than eight weeks, depending on requirements of different employers.  Students should obtain approval of the Summer Practice Committee before commencing training. Following this training, students will be required to write a formal report and present their work to the Summer Practice Committee.

The aim of the training is to give students opportunity to observe real world engineering practices in a firm, and enhance the students' engineering knowledge acquired in class through field experience, develop the students' job related skills, appreciate interdisciplinary team work, and thus enable the students to explore their career interests. 

Responsibility: When a student is sent to an external organisation, he/she will be fully liable to the organisation. His/her attitude must be according to the working scheme, rules and regulations of the organisation. For example, the student may only take leave upon approval from the organisation. To ensure effective supervision by the organisation, the student is not required to report to the supervisor/coordinator at the university, unless when necessary under certain circumstances from time to time for coordination purposes. Although the student will always be registered to the university during the training, the assessment done by the organisation on his/her at the end of the training will be taken as part of the evaluation of his/her overall performance and can result in his/her success and failure in undertaking the course.
