Students Industrial Work Experience II

At the end of this course, students should be able to: 1. Learn at least any three software in their chosen career choices; 2. Learn some animation videos (Some of which are free on YouTube) in their chosen career choices; 3. Carry out outdoor hands-on construction activities to sharpen their skills in their chosen career choices; 4. Learn how to generate data from laboratory analysis and develop empirical models; 5. Students are to learn how to write Engineering reports from lab work; 6. This information obtained is expected to complement and integrates the students’ classroom instruction and laboratory/workshop exercise; and 7. Fill logbooks of all experience gained in their chosen career.

On-the-job experience in industry (or simulated industrial facility – technology park, innovation hub, incubation facility, et cetera) chosen for practical working experience but not necessarily limited to the student’s major (Students are to proceed on three months of work experience i.e. 12 weeks during the long vacation following 300 level). Students are engaged in the more advanced workshops, indoor software design training similar to what they will use in the industry, and outdoor construction activities to sharpen their skills. The use of relevant animation videos that mimic industrial scenarios is encouraged. Students are to write a report at end of training. As much as possible, students should be assisted and encouraged to secure 3months placement in the industry. Each Engineering Programme to append outline of activities and experiences to which students are expected to be exposed to earn prescribed credits. Students are to write a general report at end of training. The experience is to be graded and the students must pass all the modules of the attachment and shall form part of CGPA. Examples of such Outline is shared here for Mineral Processing & Extractive Metallurgical Engineering i. Mineral Identification and Characterization Skill acquisition in identification and processing of base and precious metalliferous ores ii. Mineral Processing Technology Design of mineral concentration equipment like shaking table, air float, coal-gold agglomeration apparatus, magnetic separator, flotation cell using principles of engineering graphic and modelling. iii. Ferrous Extractive Metallurgy Furnace design; blast furnace reaction modelling; coking coke blend formulation for the blast furnace iv. Non-Ferrous Extractive Metallurgy Furnace and process design of furnaces for smelting galena, sphalerite, cassiterite, azurite, malachite and gold ores v. Metal Refining Processes especially application of electro-metallurgy principles in the refining vi. Computer Applications in Metallurgical Engineering Learning of software for computer application in geo-statistics and geo-metallurgy, MATLAB for Charge calculation by Gaussian elimination techniques (Linear Algebra) and materials selection vii. Hydrometallurgical Processing of Waste Electrical Electronic Equipment (WEE) To recover precious metals (gold, silver and platinum group of metals) such as computers, mobile phones and television viii. Emerging Manufacturing Technologies Getting acquainted locally and abroad with emerging manufacturing technologies including nanotechnology, additive manufacturing and electrochemical machining
