Course Aims

The Professional Career Development Internship (CS3000) program is designed to provide students with practical exposure and hands-on experience in areas related to research and professional development. This course aims to prepare students for co-curricular activities relevant to any related computer science fields while equipping them with advanced technical and non-technical skills to excel in both industry and academic research.

This course bridges academic knowledge with professional R&D practice by requiring students to complete 160 hours of hands-on internship work in industry, academia, or research projects. Students may fulfill the requirement through placements of their choice (e.g., software development, cybersecurity, or faculty-led research projects), with no maximum duration constraint. Prior internship experience may be recognized subject to approval by the internship coordinator. Upon completion, students will demonstrate technical proficiency, critical thinking, and professionalism essential for careers in industry or academic research


Assessment (Indicative only, please check the detailed course information)
Continuous Assessment: 100%
 

Student Report:


Students will submit a detailed report summarizing their internship experience, including key tasks completed, skills developed, challenges faced, and how they applied academic knowledge to solve real-world problems.




Reference Letter from Supervisor:


Workplace supervisors will provide a letter evaluating the student's performance, including their technical and non-technical skills, professionalism, and overall contribution.


Final Determination :


While student reports and supervisor evaluations form the primary basis for assessment, the Internship Coordinator or Department of Computer Science retains the right to make the final decision on course completion. This includes reviewing supplementary evidence (e.g., interviews, documentation) and addressing cases where academic integrity, workplace performance, or special circumstances may affect outcomes.
