ENGG1820 Engineering Internship

Course Code and Name: ENGG1820 Engineering Internship
Course Objectives:

The objective of the course is to enable students to have a basic understanding of the practical aspects of the engineering profession. Prior to the enrolment of this course, students must have completed not less than 8 weeks of full-time internship approved by the Faculty of Engineering. To be qualified for award of the subject credit, the student must submit a report, within the semester of enrolment, summarizing what he or she has done and learnt during the internship, together with a testimonial from the corresponding employer. Pass or fail of the course will be determined by the professor-in-charge, based on the report and the testimonial submitted.

Student may look for internship opportunities at the Placement and Internship Program (PIP) website administered by Centre for Innovation and Technology of the Faculty, or from any other sources available to him or her. Students are recommended to seek professor-in-charge’s comment on internship undertaken before enrolling in the course.
Course Outcomes:


The student will have a basic knowledge in the practical aspects of the engineering profession. He or she should have exposed to and appreciate the characteristics of an engineering working environment. Typical knowledge learnt will be workplace etiquette, employer expectations, management structure of engineering or project team, industrial standards and practices, trends and common issues in specific industry, etc
