2.2 OBJECTIVES
Internships are educational and career development opportunities, providing practical experience in a field
or discipline. They are structured, short-term, supervised placements often focused around particular tasks
or projects with defined timescales. An internship may be compensated, non-compensated or some time
may be paid. The internship has to be meaningful and mutually beneficial to the intern and the
organization. It is important that the objectives and the activities of the internship program are clearly
defined and understood. Following are the intended objectives of internship training:
• Will expose Technical students to the industrial environment, which cannot be simulated in the
classroom and hence creating competent professionals for the industry.
• Provide possible opportunities to learn, understand and sharpen the real time technical / managerial
skills required at the job.
• Exposure to the current technological developments relevant to the subject area of training.
• Experience gained from the ‘Industrial Internship’ in classroom will be used in classroom discussions.
• Create conditions conducive to quest for knowledge and its applicability on the job
• Familiarize with various materials, processes, products and their applications along with relevant aspects
of quality control.
• Understand the social, economic and administrative considerations that influence the working
environment of industrial organizations.
• Understand the psychology of the workers and their habits, attitudes and approach to problem solving.

company in relation to what you want to learn, technologies employed by the company with
respect to what you want to master etc.
