Introduction:

This annual report summarizes the internship placements and the analysis of industry internship survey during 2015 to 2018 academic years. The main objective of the survey is to assess the achievement of degree program outcomes from the industry point of view.

Achievements:

1.  Number of internship students in the last two years increased dramatically by around 4.2 times the 2015, and even so, the college successfully provided internship placements for all the students.

2. The overall average satisfaction is about 87% for the past 4 years, which is within the College goals and objectives             

3. The College’s students are excellent (achieving average score of 90%) in using skills, techniques and modern engineering tools, and in functioning effectively as a member in a multidisciplinary team and in communicate effectively with engineers.

4.  Around 44% of the interns visited by CEA faculty during their summer internship in 2017 / 2018.

 

Suggestions for Improvement:

1. It is required to maintain and improve the number of intern's visits (at least 80%) in their host companies. It is suggested to assign at least one faculty member from each department in summer semester to follow-up the internship visits and evaluation.

2. The minimum overall achieved score from survey is about 74%, therefore the college need to increase the awareness of the impact of engineering solutions on the economy, society, culture and environment, that can be achieve through seminars / workshops from industrial bodies, and to overcome this issue the CEA board decided to conduct four seminars/workshop deliver by experts from industry during the academic year 2019 / 2020.
