Industrial Attachment

CEG students who are keen in a 6-months industrial attachment (IA) may apply through the respective system:

- CP3880 Advanced Technology Attachment Programme (offered by SoC)

Posted on: 24 February 2012
Register for (May – Nov 2012) ATAP by 9 Mar 2012, 12pm

- EG3601 Industrial Attachment Programme (offered by FoE)

Posted on: 1 September 2011
Register for (Jan – Jun 2012) IAP by 4 Sept 2011

  • Read on for the additional 6 months Industrial-based FYP

Students performing a 6-month industrial attachment may self-propose, or together with the company that they are attached to, a 6-month extension to pursue their final year project (CG4001) in the company. Students must be of level 4 standing (or be on track to achieve level 4 standing) at the time of commencement of the project.

All such proposed projects shall be evaluated and if deem fit, approved by the CEG Joint Academic Committee. The projects should have a varied mix of research, design and development components.

A student taking this route, will work full time on the project in the industry, jointly supervised by an NUS supervisor and an industrial mentor. The supervisor will continuously monitor the student’s progress. The student will keep a logbook of activities during the duration of his/her project and will be required to submit a series of short reports for continuous assessment and at the end of semester 1. At the final assessment, a dissertation is to be submitted and defended by the student.

Note that there should be no/minimal overlap in the content covered in the final thesis (for work done to fulfil final year project) and in the IA report (for work done in the first 6 months).



CEG students who are keen in a 3-months internship (May - July) may apply through the respective system:

- CP3200 Student Internship Programme (offered by SoC)

Posted on: 24 February 2012
Register for (May – Jul 2012) SIP from 27 Feb – 9 Mar 2012

- EG3602 Vacation Internship Programme (offered by FoE)

Posted on: 24 February 2012
Register for (May – Jul 2012) VIP by 1 Mar 2012


Note:

  • Generally, students are recommended to go for IA in semester 2 (January – June) of their third year; application begins early September the previous year.
  • Self-initiated IA/internship may be proposed via either FoE or SoC. Please refer and follow the instructions on the respective sites.
  • Students who are keen in 12-months IA (i.e. EG3601/CP3880 AND industrial-based CG4001) are recommended to plan early (for attachment in Year 3, semester 2 and Year 4, semester 1).
  • Students may earn credits for either industrial attachment OR internship only once regardless whether it’s applied via FoE or SoC. Only one 12-MCs (for IA) OR one 6-MCs (for internship) allocation, fulfilling graduation requirements (under UEM), will be allowed.
  • While CEG students may apply for industrial attachment OR internship via either IAP/VIP (FoE) or ATAP/SIP (SoC), please DO NOT apply both sides, then decide on the ‘preferred’ offer – it does not leave a positive impression to reject an offer. Also, it will affect another applicant’s chance. You will also likely find yourself in greater dilemma later on, managing the different timelines (e.g. for interview, accept/reject).
  • As ATAP/SIP and IAP/VIP are administered at School/Faculty level, if you have any related queries, please check with the respective School/Faculty administrators directly. If necessary, you may cc a copy of your queries to Mun Bak (CEG2 students) or Winnie (CEG3 students).
  • While students on IA are allowed to take up to two modules that are offered in the evenings, this is subjected to the necessary approvals and availability of the modules. (P/S: The quotas for BTech modules are especially tight.) Please do not expect that you will definitely be able to read two modules.
