1. INTRODUCTION

Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP) was established with the objective to produce
well-rounded graduates who are not only technically competent but also possess other traits
such as lifetime learning capacity, critical thinking, communication and behavioral skills,
business acumen, practical aptitude and solution synthesis ability.

In line with the vision to close the industry gap, UTP has made it compulsory for its
undergraduate students to undergo practical work in the form of a fourteen (14) - week
industrial attachment prior to their completion of studies at UTP. Student Industrial
Training (SIT) shall carry seven (7) credit hours. SIT provides opportunity to the students
to experience the real working environment of the industry. The students will develop skills
in work ethics, communication, management and working in a team.

UTP has always placed great emphasis in having a close collaboration with the industries
in which its graduates will eventually gain recognition from industry players locally and
abroad. This internship programme is a prime example of the University Industry
collaboration.

Currently, UTP consist of TWO Faculties:

Engineering
Chemical Engineering
Civil and Environmental Engineering
Computer Engineering
Electrical & Electronics Engineering
Mechanical Engineering
Petroleum Engineering
Science and Information Technology
Applied Chemistry
Applied Physics
Information Systems
Information Technology
Petroleum Geosciences

2. PURPOSE OF STUDENT INDUSTRIAL TRAINING (SIT)

The purpose of the Student Industrial Training (SIT) is to expose UTP students to the real
working environment so that they can relate theoretical knowledge with application in the
industry. From the SIT, the students will also develop skills in safety practices, work ethics,
communication, management, etc. Furthermore, SIT will establish a close relationship

3
 between the industries and UTP. The exposure to industrial environment will help the
students to develop their soft skills and work experience.

3. COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES

3.1 Demonstrate skills in communication, management and teamwork.
3.2 Adopt ethic, professionalism and HSE practices in work culture.
3.3 Demonstrate continuous building of skills and knowledge throughout the training.
3.4 Appreciation of sustainability issues in industry.

4. TRAINING APPROACH

SIT should have the following features:

4.1.Safety awareness
4.2. Continuous technical building skill and exposure
4.3. Hands-on training
4.4. Team-work activities
4.5. Leadership and management skills
4.6. Sustainability awareness

5. BENEFITS TO THE INDUSTRY

5.1. Provides opportunity for the industry to assess the capabilities of potential employee.
5.2. Recognizes the industry’s support to the education sector.
5.3. Facilitates and strengthens university-industry partnership and linkages.
