Students from AY2021 intake (and after) are required to take up compulsory internship(s), totaling 10 units. For non-iDP students, we highly recommend CP3880 (12 units) or EG3611A (10 units) in the regular semester, over shorter (vacation/summer) internship.
Updated 31 May 2024: Arising from the workload increase for year-long NOC internship course - ETP3206L - to 16 units with effect from AY2024/25, Engineering students (from AY2021 intake and after) are Not allowed to take more than 20 units of internship courses (10 units for Engineering major and 10 units as UE). Consequently, units from internship courses in excess of the 20 units limit cannot be counted towards the minimum 160 units for graduation i.e. they will be counted on top and above the minimum 160 units required for graduation.
Students from AY2017 - AY2020 intakes are required to take up industrial attachment (IA), that is continuous over (at least) 20 weeks. For Poly students with EG3611P APCs and students in Double Degree Programme (DDP), IA is optional. Notwithstanding, affected students are still required to make-up for the 10 units.
CEG students who are keen in 5-month or 6-month internship may apply through the respective system.

Read on for the additional 6 months Integrated Industrial FYPStudents performing a 6-months industrial attachment may self-propose, or together with the company that they are attached to, a 6-months extension to pursue their final year project (CG4001 B.Eng. Dissertation) in the company. Students must be of level 4 standing (or be on track to achieve level 4 standing) at the time of commencement of the project.
All such proposed projects shall be evaluated and if deem fit, approved by the CEG Joint Academic Committee. The projects should have a varied mix of research, design and development components.
A student taking this route, will work full time on the project in the industry, jointly supervised by an NUS supervisor and an industrial mentor. The supervisors will continuously monitor the student's progress. The student will keep a logbook of activities during the duration of his/her project. He/She will be required to submit two reports - for continual assessment and final assessment (at the end of the semester). At the final assessment, a dissertation is to be submitted and defended by the student.
Note that there should be no/minimal overlap in the content covered in the final thesis (for work done to fulfil final year project) and in the IA report (for work done in the first 6 months).

CEG students who are keen in a 3-month internship (May – July/August) may apply through the respective system:
– CP3200 Student Internship Programme (SIP offered by SoC)
Posted on: 7 February 2024
Apply for SIP (May - Aug 2024) by 12 Apr
– EG3612 Vacation Industrial Attachment (VIA offered by CDE)
Posted on: 15 March 2024
Apply for VIA (May - Jul 2024) by 19 Apr
Note:
-
Self-initiated IA/internship may be proposed via either CDE or SoC. Please refer and follow the instructions on the respective sites.
-
Students who are keen in 12-months IA (i.e. EG3611/CP3880 AND industrial-based CG4001) are recommended to plan early (for attachment in Year 3, semester 2 and Year 4, semester 1).
- AY2017/18 - AY2020/21 intakes: Students are NOT allowed to take two rounds of 3-months internship, in lieu of 20-weeks/10 units (compulsory) IA.
- In view of compulsory IA (typically in Year 3), CG4002 will be first offered in Sem 2, AY19/20, with a cap on enrolment. The cap on enrolment will apply in subsequent semesters as well. Students are Not allowed to read CG4002 in the same semester as IA. CG3207 will be offered in semester 1 (only), as an evening course.
-
While CEG students may apply for internship, via either CDE (IA/VIA) or SoC (ATAP/SIP), please DO NOT apply both sides, then decide on the ‘preferred’ offer – it does not leave a positive impression to reject an offer. Also, it will affect another applicant.
-
While students on IA are allowed to take up to two courses that are offered in the evenings, this is subjected to the necessary approvals and availability of the courses. Please do not expect that you will definitely be able to read two courses.
- With effect from AY2015/16, EG2401/A is offered in the evenings.
