Field Attachment Course Description (Second Year, Second Semester)

The Field Attachment course is a core requirement for all second-year students in the second semester. The course is designed to provide students with practical exposure to the real-world working environment relevant to their field of study.

Course Structure

The course is divided into two parts, based on the student's internship status:


1. Students with Internship / Industrial Attachment

Students who successfully secure an internship or industrial attachment with a company, laboratory, utility provider, or engineering firm are required to:

  • Maintain a Logbook: Documenting daily tasks, activities, skills acquired, and reflections throughout the internship period.

  • Submit an Internship Report: A formal technical report summarizing the scope of work, projects undertaken, skills learned, challenges faced, and recommendations for future improvement.

Assessment Criteria:

  • Evaluation by the industry supervisor (where applicable).

  • Quality and completeness of logbook entries.

  • Technical content and presentation of the internship report.


2. Students without Internship / Attachment

Students who are unable to secure an internship during the designated period will be assigned a Major Technical Assignment. This is designed to simulate workplace problem-solving and practical applications.

  • Major Assignment: A comprehensive project/report based on real-world engineering problems or case studies related to the student’s field.

  • Guidelines will be provided, and students will be expected to apply theory, conduct research, and present findings as if responding to an industrial challenge.

Assessment Criteria:

  • Technical depth and relevance of the assignment.

  • Research, analysis, and application of concepts.

  • Clarity, organization, and professionalism in presentation.


Learning Outcomes

By the end of this course, students are expected to:

  • Gain insights into the professional engineering environment.

  • Apply academic knowledge to practical tasks or project-based scenarios.

  • Develop problem-solving, communication, and report-writing skills.

  • Reflect on personal growth, ethics, and responsibilities in the workplace.
