Learning methods and activities

Credits Rewarding practice is an independent work performed at an engineering company. The goal of this course is to give students insight and experience from an engineering workplace relevant to the study. The course consists of an internship performed at the company. A report from the practice period must be delivered.

The scope of the practice must be at least 120 hours. A plan for the practice is prepared at the beginning of the course.

The student must write a log of performed activities each day of work.

The student must deliver a final report of the practice within the deadlines specified in the plan (within the examination period).

Both the company and NTNU will provide a contact person / supervisor for each practice student. Place of practice is formally approved by signing a contract between the company, NTNU and the student. A more detailed guide for the student and company is provided by NTNU.

Specific conditions

Required previous knowledge

Student has passed courses for at least 110 credits.

A formal agreement between NTNU and the practice institution / company must be signed.
