INTERNSHIPS ABROAD DURING ENGINEERING COURSE

I recommend internships to be done abroad during your engineering course rather than doing it in your country. Now a days there a lot of engineers and there is no job for all the engineers. So how are you going to be different from them? Every engineering student during their engineering course undergoes internships and industrial visits. So for you to be different from the rest undergo an internship abroad. You can meet different people from different cultures and you will get better exposure. You can also do industrial visits during your internship.

Everyone wish to do internships abroad but they just don't know where to begin. They search for internship in search engines but are not satisfied. IAESTE is the where you have to begin. The International Association for the Exchange of Students for Technical Experience (IAESTE) is a student exchange organisation that provides students in technical degrees (primarily Science, Engineering and the applied arts) with paid, course-related, training abroad and employers with highly skilled, highly motivated trainees, for long or short term projects. More than 80 countries are involved and exchanging over 4000 traineeships each year worldwide. Each country participating in this program has IAESTE committees through which the exchange is done. In India, Karunya University and MIT are the two IAESTE committees. Be a member in the committee and you can apply for paid internship abroad. Sometimes offers for non-members are also available.

But those who didn't get selected for internship abroad through IAESTE should not be disapointed because there is another way. Different types of internships can be done according to the course that you have done or you are doing. You can send emails to professors of colleges abroad that has a research department of your choice. You get selected according to the project and seminar that you have done and your aggregate marks. I recommend Europe for doing internship because there are many technical colleges which has research department.  If you are lucky they may reply. Then ask about housing expenses etc. If you are lucky they will fund you your housing expenses and medical expenses. They will do everything for the visa work. Internship can be from 1 week to 6 months. You may even get paid for the internship and may even give you a job for you to join after your engineering course. Every engineering curriculum has a time period for doing internship. If you have been selected to do internship please discuss with your course tutor. If everything is fine you are lucky. I have written previously about "best country to do internship".
