Course content

The course contains the following:

  • Project planning, plan for the practice period, progress plan
  • Problem analysis and definition of scope
  • Progress reports and status analysis
  • Documentation/final report

The course requires independent work being performed at an engineering company. The purpose is to enlighten students and provide practical work experience relevant to the study programme.

Compulsory coursework:

  • The duration of practice must equal at least 20 work days
  • A plan for the practice period must be submitted
  • Daily log with check-in/check-out times and description of work

A final report documenting the industrial practice must be submitted, which must contain the following attachments:

  • practice plan
  • complete set of daily logs
  • signed certificate of completed work at company

Both the company and NTNU must provide a contact person/supervisor. The practice period is formally approved by a contract by the company, university, and the student. A guide for students and companies regarding practice work exists.
