Case Study: Integrated In-house Textbook Companion Internship
- Abstract
The curriculum design is an integral part of engineering degree, which is nowadays taking a paradigm shift. The syllabi for engineering graduates a decade ago were completely academic but now there is a scope for more real-time analysis, which makes the students, be industry ready. This is more beneficial as it will require less training period for the students when they are absorbed in their respective industries. Therefore, the internship program has been included in the curriculum of most universities, and being a credit course, it allows more students to participate. In addition, if the intern's score credits for the same, the evaluation and assessment tools method needs proper design. Our Textbook Companion Internship was offered online during the outburst of the pandemic (COVID-19). The main objective of this internship is to provide an integrated learning experience, i.e., integration of theoretical knowledge and software tools (Simulation-based study) i.e. essential to bridge academic-industry gaps. The objective is achieved by modifying the assigned tasks to interns on daily basis and evaluating their work and giving feedback. This has helped the interns to understand the theoretical concepts together with simulations.
