Course Synopsis
The students are required to complete a six credit (minimum ten weeks/180 hour long) internship as a part of the course requirement. Industry
is a crucial requirement of the Internship course and this will have to be secured before getting started with the course. The work that the
students perform during the Internship will have to be supervised by the faculty members as well as by representatives from the participating
Industries. The internship experience is expected to enable the students to assist in the resolution of complex problem associated with
Database systems.
At the end of the Internship, the student(s) are required to write a report on their internship work. Such a report needs to be structured
according to the prescribed format. The Report forms a major aspect of the evaluation of the Internship work.
Goal
Main goal is to assist students in focusing their interests, thus aiding in their professional carrier. It gives students the opportunity to re-
examine their career objectives and explore the variety of opportunities in the field of computer networking.
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.
Role of the Advisor
Advisors are expected to share their experience, insight, and enthusiasm with the student throughout the internship. They should continually
monitor the progress of the student, assessing written and oral communications and guiding the development of the student's technical and
managerial skills, effectiveness and presentation of self. Advisors are expected to submit a post-internship evaluation of the student's
accomplishments and abilities and of the internship program in general.
Role of the Student
In order for the internship to be a mutually beneficial experience, a student should begin with a definition of his/her objectives and specific
interests for the minimum of 10-week/180 hour period to ensure that appropriate activities and projects are selected by the advisor and the
student. The student will be responsible for the timely completion and professional quality of all activities and projects assigned. The student is
expected to speak frequently with the advisor on his/her progress and interest in other projects, as well as to discuss observations and
