Aim:
The aim of the industrial placement is to ensure that the student becomes familiar with the working environment at a workplace for which the student�?Ts education has prepared him/her, and can function as a co-worker in a group. The student should also acquire practical experience, for example the production of products and services, in the field of technology/science as well as experience from collaboration at a workplace. Furthermore the industrial placement should strengthen the student�?Ts ability to take personal responsibility and provide him/her with experiences beyond the technical/scientific sphere.
After completing the course the student should:
- be able to describe the requirements imposed by working life
- know the importance of being able to systematically find and compile relevant information in connection with technical and scientific inquiries
- be able to describe the multifaceted roll assumed by present-day professionals

Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
At least 90 approved ECTS from mandatory courses from semesters 1-4 (or if mandatory courses are absent, the courses designated by the board of studies) from an educational programme at the Institute of Technology

Organisation:
The course is conducted as an individual placement at an organization external to the university. The student should find and apply to an industrial placement on his/her own. Before the start of the course, the student�?Ts study advisor should approve the student�?Ts eligibility and the examiner should approve the student�?Ts placement plan, which is formulated according to an established template and signed by the student�?Ts supervisor at the placement organization as well as the student. The workplace, where the greater part of the course will take place, should provide a named supervisor for the entire period.
The industrial placement project should be documented in a written placement report. This written report should be detailed and professionally written and reflect well the aims of the course. The contents should be easy to understand and the quality of the written work should be good. The background and the inquiry of the project should be presented in the context of working life. The discussion should be detailed, and it should show the student�?Ts insight into the professional roll as well as technical, engineering and/or scientific skills. The report should include proper citation of sources and a short summary.
