Dear ME398 (Internship) Students, 

Welcome to the ME Internship training program. The ME Department expects you to take advantage of this opportunity and use it efficiently in learning and performing professionally and ethically to build your technical and communication skills by interacting with technical and administrative staff in the industry.  

Guidelines:

(1)  General 

• Finding a training opportunity is the responsibility of the student.

• KFUPM Tadreeb's website offers available training opportunities, keep checking for updates if you do not have a confirmed training opportunity.

• To confirm a training opportunity, the company should fill out the training opportunity Form for the student, provide a training contract to the student, or register the opportunity through KFUPM Tadreeb’s Website.

• Any confirmed training opportunities should include a general Training Plan for the student.

• The student should communicate his confirmed training opportunity with the KFUPM training department and the ME Internship Coordinator, by emailing the signed opportunity Form or Contract. If the opportunity is confirmed through KFUPM Tadreeb’s website then it is automatically registered.

(2) To avoid registration problems:

•  The Internship can NOT be the last semester. Student must plan to spend at least one semester in the university after the completing the Internship.

• Pre-requisite courses can NOT be waived based on a petition. A student must carefully plan his course registration - until graduation - to avoid delaying his Internship or taking an additional semester without a need.

• Dropping or Failing a pre-requisite course (ME301, ME315, ENGL214 and BUS200) required for registering the Internship results in cancelling the Internship registration.
• The cumulative GPA and the Major GPA should be 2 or above.  If CGPA < 2  or MGPA < 2, a petition for low GPA is required.

(3)   Internship (ME398) registration requirements: 

• Completing the pre-requisite courses: ME301, ME315, ENGL214 and BUS200
• Completing a minimum of 80 credits (earned hours) before starting the internship training.
• Completing all 200-level courses.
• Registration of ME411 with the Internship

If student registered the Internship for a future semester and not able to pass the pre-requisites, his registration will be dropped. The student has to drop the internship (fill out the drop form) to register normal courses for the semester. 

(4)  Blackboard (BB) course shell for the Internship

A blackboard (BB) course shell for the Internship is created by the beginning of the semester. All assignments, due dates, instructions, assigned ME advisor, grades and comments, etc., will be announced through blackboard. Student to follow updates through regular checks on the BB.
