Internship

Internship is a structured educational program during which students in eligible academic disciplines complete a specified number of working hours at approved host institutions. Participation in an internship provides students with the opportunity to align their academic knowledge with the practical procedures and operational practices employed in industrial and professional environments across the country.

Furthermore, through the completion of the internship program, students are able to gain a clearer understanding of their capabilities and assess their readiness for professional engagement in industrial settings. This experience also enables them to identify potential areas of weakness and to plan effectively for their improvement and professional development.

Industry in Classroom

The integration of industry into the classroom provides a valuable opportunity for students to gain deeper insight into the issues and challenges facing the nation’s industrial sector and contributes significantly to their academic development. As a result, upon graduation, these students enter the workforce with greater preparedness to contribute to the advancement and improvement of industry.

In the Introduction to Mechanical Engineering course, in line with achieving these objectives, experienced professors and practicing industry engineers are invited to share their professional knowledge and experiences with students. This engagement plays a vital role in familiarizing students with real-world industrial environments and practices.
