Some Details:
Preparation Students, the advisors, and the industry/organization, with which the student team is affiliated, will have to agree on a problem that needs to be addressed during the internship. An internship is designed by the advisor and the student according to mutual interests, needs and availability of related industry/organization. To develop a rewarding program, at the beginning of the internship, the advisor and student are asked to establish an internship plan, in the form of written objectives and goals, and to develop a strategy for attaining those goals. The plan may include a schedule of activities that need to be carried out in order to reach a solution for the problem being addressed. The internship plan is not intended to be rigid. Advisor may be unable to assess certain responsibilities until the student demonstrates his or her ability. The plan should be flexible and subject to revision. The advisor and student should assess the student's progress throughout the term of the internship both to evaluate the student's performance, and to establish new directions as needed.
