“Not enough understanding of how PSRS students will be able to leverage internship
opportunities and what’s needed from them side”.
❖ Speaker’s presentation
“It could be better if the presents from the industries asked in advance about the
career and internship opportunity in there organization specifically for masters
students”.

“The event was online this year. I hope it will be on site in the future because any
online meeting or class is only about 50% effective and takes a toll on mental ability
to focus”.
There is an idea that “combining Research Day and Industrial Day into PSRS week”.
