Open publisher page 5 citations

Abstract

Internship is an inseparable part of some curricula such as Medicine, Law, Accounting, Teaching and more disciplines, where internship is a crucial part of the curriculum. This is not the situation when it comes to technological studies such as Electronics. Is there any justification for this? This article reviews ten years experience of implementing internship at more then 130 Hi Tech. factories and research institutes, as an obligatory requirement for the Bachelor degree in EEE. The paper presents the supporting array and the academic requests. A pilot research investigating characteristics of the internship has been conducted lately. About 100 students and 20 supervisors asked to fill in questionnaires. Until now, 44 students and 13 supervisors answered. The results are presented in this paper.
