EIT bachelor’s and master’s degrees require students to have 240 hours of paid or unpaid professional work-integrated learning. This includes internships, networking activities, site visits, and helping with industry projects.
To aid on-campus students with no industry experience through the process of application for work- integrated learning, EIT offers assistance with their resume development, interview skills, presentation skills, and helping them get in touch with its industry partners.
Students have the opportunity to engage with employees and are exposed to work culture when taking up internships. They learn about official communication, more about engineering disciplines, gain practical insights and aptitude as they work on projects from planning to completion.
EIT’s hands-on workshops provide students with knowledge and experience using discipline-related materials and equipment. Students become competent through these workshops in tools, measurements, experimentation, and more.
EIT equips online and on-campus students with required skills that helps them put theory into practice. Its remote and virtual laboratories offer students access to specialised education and industrial engineering software and hardware, to be used in practical assessments throughout the duration of their course.
