The main objective of Industrial Training is to contribute to the education of
the students of the Faculty of Engineering by providing them practical,
technological, as well as managerial experience and knowledge in nonacademic
organizations.
Regulations
Each student must complete a total of at least 60 working days of
training as a partial requirement for an undergraduate degree in engineering.
Each department determines the areas and minimum durations of training
according to its own engineering formation and educational program, and
announces them to the students. The duration of each training cannot be less
than 15 working days, and the total requirement should be completed in
at least two different organizations.
It is the responsibility of the department’s training coordinator to
coordinate and guide training activities in conformity with these bylaws.
Students who have successfully completed their undergraduate program, but
have not fulfilled their training requirements properly are not allowed to
register. These students have to complete their training by the end of the
first semester after they complete their coursework in the undergraduate
program.
At the end of each training, the documents listed below must be submitted to
the training coordinator within one month after the beginning of the next
academic semester. The total delay in days in the submission of these
documents after the deadline will be subtracted from the duration of
training.
