Internships

  • by admin

Internships are of two types, namely curricular and extracurricular: curricular internships are those for students, extracurricular internships are those for graduated people (thus, no more students).

Curricular internships can be compulsory or not compulsory: compulsory curricular internships are those present in the study plan, thus they are compulsory to get the degree; internships not present in the study plan are curricular not compulsory, and they are not compulsory to get the degree.

The detailed information about the internships can be found in the  Career Service web site. In particular: 

As indicated on the Career Service website, after the company has formalized the internship, the student will receive an email stating that, in order to proceed with the activation of the internship, it is necessary to provide the SAT of Electrical Engineering (SAT = Academic Structure for Internships) with the following two pieces of information:

  1. The type of internship:
  • Mandatory curricular internship
  • Optional curricular internship, linked to a thesis
  • Optional curricular internship, NOT linked to a thesis
  • Extracurricular internship to be carried out after graduation
  1. In the first two cases (mandatory curricular internship and optional curricular internship linked to a thesis), the student must also provide the name of the academic tutor.

Regarding the role of the academic tutor, please note:

  • If the internship is a mandatory curricular one, the academic tutor must be a faculty member; this can be any professor of the Study Program. It is recommended to look for a professor whose course content is related to the topic of the internship.
  • If the internship is an optional curricular one but linked to a Master’s thesis, the academic tutor is the thesis supervisor.
  • In all other cases, the tutor has no teaching duties, and will therefore be a Career Service officer (this is why, in these cases, the student is not required to indicate an academic tutor).

Again, in the first two cases (mandatory curricular internship and optional curricular internship linked to a thesis), for any questions regarding the internship, students can contact the SAT representatives of Electrical Engineering.
