Practical experience in a workshop or industrial production facility, construction site or special centres in the university environment, considered suitable for relevant practical/industrial working experience but not necessarily limited to the student’s major. The students are exposed to hands-on activities on workshop safety and ethics, maintenance of tools, equipment and machines, welding, fabrication and foundry equipment, production of simple devices; electrical circuits, wiring and installation (8-10 weeks during the long vacation following 200 level). NOTE: Each programme to indicate additional details of programme-specific activities for their students. 300 Level Courses

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.
