CHAPTER I
INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
1.1 Introduction
There are two styles for internship namely continuous and independent Internship. Continuous
Internship means the project of Internship should be continued to final research project for thesis.
Therefore, the student should critically investigate a potential topic that can be extended into final
undergraduate research project. Independent internship means that the student needs to explain in detail
about the condition of the investigated industry, and there is a special topic given by the field supervisor.
If the topic is sufficient to be continued as final research project, hence, the internship will be considered
as continuous internship.
In engineering education, one of the important things is industrial training experiences. Such
experiences must be obtained from reputable industry and the student should work as an employee in
that industry. Students will learn many things such as team-work project experience, technical and
communication skills, professional behaviour, and ability to plan and complete a project within a time
frame.
Objective of the Internship program is to provide students with opportunity to implement their
knowledge and skills learned from the class into real industrial world problem. Students are expected to
have hands-on experiences for improving learning ability in the real industrial world working
environment. An internship allows the students to acquire and apply practical skills in field experiences
while working toward career goals, which are related to the goals of a supervising professional or agency.
An internship bridges the gap between formal education and real-world industrial systems.
1.3 Internship Implementation
Internship must be conducted in a reputable manufacture or service company and must be completed
with an internship report arrangement and internship seminar.
The period of time in conducting the internship is at least 1 (one) month depending on the
activity offered by the company where internship is conducted.
The maximum of consultation and supervision is 6 months starting from the date of the
internship being conducted. Six months extension is accepted for an exception case with a strong
reason. If the student cannot submit an internship report within 12 months, s/he should start all
internship procedures from the beginning.
An internship should be conducted outside regular semester.
There are three kinds of activities that might be conducted during the internship:
For an internship that is restricted by a certain period of time, the student must present at the
institution where s/he is conducting the internship every day during the working hours. S/he
must involve in the institution’s daily activities by being given a certain assignment related to the
subject of the work field.
For a internship that is related to a project, the student is given a project that must be completed.
The student does not have to present at the institution every day.
Joining an apprenticeship program held by a company.
Internship might be conducted by a group consisting of maximum of three students. They are allowed to
conduct the Internship at the same institution but they must write a report with different topics/ projects.
The student should fulfil the following requirements in order to get a letter of permission for conducting
the internship:
Pick up and fill the internship form provided by International Program management along with:
a. a lecturer who is appointed by the international program management. Each problem emerging
during the process must be consulted and conducted under the supervision of the appointed
lecturer.
b. a supervisor appointed by the company that will supervise activities in a host company/
institution.
1.9 Internship Journal of Activities
During the internship, a student should maintain a journal of activities carried out in the institution
where internship is conducted. The journal contains assignments, observations, schedules or data
processing carried out during the internship. The journal describes the activities during the internship
chronologically. It must be approved by the supervisor or the authoritarian of the host institution where
the student is conducting the internship (see Appendix E). Commented [MW1]: Previously
: subjected to appendix f , which is “cover page”, should we
eliminate? Since appendix e refers to company’s evaluation form
1.10 Internship Report Outline
Internship report will be presented as normal bound hardcopy and digital form in a PDF Format. The
Internship report is described as follows:
Internship text will be divided into five chapters. Each new chapter should be started on a new page.
Internship report should be able to report activities during the internship and project that has been
investigated. The content of internship report consists of:
CHAPTER I: INTRODUCTION
This section contains the general information of operational section that will be carried out in the
institution where field work is intended. Importance of the field work must be stressed in this
section as well.

position, the basic engineering areas and organization unit where student will work for internship.
It also briefly explains the projects/ activities that will be conducted during internship program.
This section contains the objectives that the students want to accomplish.
This chapter contains the general description of the institution where the internship program takes
place. The general description covers:
Production/ Operation Management taking place in the host institution where the internship
program is conducted must be written in this chapter. It explains the Production/ operation
systems and their relationship to other units in the host institution. It covers:
This section explains about the implementation of IT (software, hardware, database and
networking technology) to support management. If the host institution adopts application software
to support management, then student should explain the type of information systems, management
level, and how the IT is managed to accelerate institution's objectives.
Student will be assigned a project by the department supervisor or the internship supervisor of
host institution. The project should be thoroughly investigated and analysed. Thus, this section
consists of the following subsections:

2.1 Introduction
Undergraduate research project under this type must implement methods for industrial problem solving.
The research must be started from field observation to find the problem. The student would define
suitable methods to solve the problem. Sometime, the student needs to combine more than one method
or modify the existing method when a conventional method is not adequate to solve the problem. Before
methods implementation, the student must consult to the supervisor regarding the scope of the problem
and proposed method. Only on the supervisor approval the student could proceed to the methods
implementation.
Another way to conduct research under this research type is continuing previous research by
adding new variables or reducing several assumption or limitations to make the previous research more
feasible. Through this way, the student could use secondary data from previous research or sometime the
student still need to go to the industrial system when data about the new variables or limitations are not
available. The student is allowed to continue the research only on the supervisor approval as well.
Undergraduate research project under this type could be started from literatures study. Student must
enrich himself with basic knowledge of several methods. Then, the student could find a literature from
previous research to get a case study. The student would then solve the case study with different method
and conduct deep analysis regarding the result. Comparison analysis must be conducted to discover
phenomena behind the result. When the new solution is better than the existing solution, the student
must explain the advantages of the new method and disadvantages of the existing method. When the
solution is same or worst compared to the existing solution then the student must explain the advantages
of the existing method and disadvantages of the new method.
Undergraduate research project under this type would be started by defining a latest issue in industry.
The student would then find minimum 50 research articles from reputable journals or seminar
proceedings to do study mapping related to the issue. Besides the study mapping, outcome of the
undergraduate research under this type is suggestions for further research to continue of improve the
existing researches.
Undergraduate research project facilitates the students to implement theory that have been learned in
class for solving real industrial problem. Benefit of such activity is to reinforce thinking structure of the
students when solving a problem and to improve ability of the students in writing scientific report. An
undergraduate research project bridges analytical knowledge of the students with practical complicated
problem occurred in the real industrial system.
Undergraduate research project must be conducted in a reputable manufacture or service company and
must be completed with an thesis report arrangement and oral defence. Department of Industrial
Engineering-International Program also facilitates the students to conduct pre-defence seminar to get
suggestions from other lecturers to improve research and thesis quality. The pre-defence seminar could
be conducted maximum 2 weeks before oral defence.
Before submitting undergraduate research proposal, student must fulfil several prerequisites as follows:
Objective of thesis pre-defence is to facilitate the student to get suggestions from other lecturers to
improve thesis quality. If there are problems that very potential to make the student fail in oral defence,
then the student could improve the thesis before oral defence. This chance would beneficial the student.
Besides, the pre-defence facilitates the student to have a presentation exercise before oral defence.
The student requires to prepare a manuscript contains research background, literatures review
(inductive review only), research method and research result so far (not necessary to finish all of the
research activities). Two copies of the manuscript must be submitted to Department of Industrial
Engineering-International Program management at least 3 days before the pre-defence. The manuscript
would be evaluated by the thesis supervisor and another one examiner. The examiner in the pre-defence
would be assigned as one of examiner of thesis oral defence.
It is compulsory for student to check the format of Internship report and thesis and also the spelling and
language. Department of Industrial Engineering-International Program management provides a
professional person to do format checking and language advising for the student. In order to assure the
quality of thesis presentation and completion time, minimum and maximum duration for format checking
and language advising is 3 days and 7 days respectively.
