Assoc. Prof. Dr. Khairul Azami Sidek<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dean, Kulliyyah of Engineering<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Engineering Industrial Training (EIT) is a required course for all students at Kulliyyah of Engineering (KOE) in order to complete their undergraduate engineering degree programme. It is an important element and component in to expose students to actual working environment in organization or industry. This exposure is expected to be able to enhance and reinforce their intellectual and skills capabilities, emotional, physical and social ability. The students will be exposed to job hunting experience in the early process of finding a placement and selection of industries, of course with the assistance of the coordinators. During the training, students will be fully attached with the company to experience the actual working environment. Specific projects are expected to be assigned based on the nature of the company and to be monitored and guided by the designated supervisor within the company. The students are expected to plan and record their activities using a proper logbook and later produce a report to showcase their journey and accomplishment throughout the training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this instrument in place, it is expected that every graduate shall have sufficient knowledge, skill, and attitude to embark into their respective professional life upon graduation. The students may also extend the work done during EIT to their Final Year Project (FYP) through co-supervision from the company. This will give great experience and added value to the students to solve actual industrial problem. In addition to that, the Kulliyyah also hopes to forge strong linkages with relevant industries that shall pave opportunities for collaborations between KOE and the industries as well as to look for industrially driven research.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
