Internships

Internships are a key facet of our emphasis on learning by doing. Through them, you gain perspectives on real-world issues while working on real-life projects alongside engineering practitioners.

Typically in Year 3 Semester 1 or Year 3 Semester 2, you would embark on a compulsory* industrial attachment (IA) of at least 20 weeks^# (with optional extension to 24 weeks for extra 2 Units). During your IA, you would be able read up to 2 evening coures to fulfil your elective requirements subjected to companies’ approval.

Internship positions will be offered for your selection through an online internship portal. You may also source for your own internship opportunities with companies that are not in the portal.

* IA is optional if you are a polytechnic graduate

IA is also optional if you are in a special programme (i.e. Engineering Scholars, double-degree, concurrent degree, global engineering) – the Units for IA can be utilised as UEMs

 ^#  If you are pursuing the second major in Innovation and Design (iDP), a 12-week vacation internship programme (VIP) applies instead of the 20-week IA

If you matriculated in AY2017/2018 or earlier, your compulsory IA would be 24 weeks in length.
