Objective

Practical training performed during Internship is essential part of the engineering degree. The Internship is goal-oriented and versatile work which introduces you to work-life rules and practices.
The training helps you to apply your knowhow in real-life situations, motivates you in your studies and helps you to orientate your studies according to your own learning path.

Content

The student performs the internship in Lapland UAS mechanical engineering laboratory environments during the academic year.
The content of the Internship will be agreed in the beginning of the work, the student can affect to the contents also.
The internship will be performed in Lapland UAS laboratories.. The internship will be supervised by Lapland UAS professors/personnel.
