Abstract

The internship program that had been organized in FKM is adequately exposing the student to the real world of engineering. Being a ‘part-timer’ in industries, the students are being reinforced with the classroom and working experiences. A very high quality internship program is those that provide the students with multi task and know-how responsibilities. Today generic knowledge has been one of increasingly important issues that play an important role not only in higher learning institutions but also in industries. Sensitive and responsive towards this program by both company and academia will ensure that only quality experience to be imparted to students. The significant of this program had been addressed as a platform for the student to future plans their career by presenting themselves in professional atmosphere while building up their soft skills. Passionate and love about a career should be build within the students which will later motivate the student to grab as much valuable experience as needed. This study is concerning on the effectiveness of industrial training conducted by Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka. The quantitative methods were used to establish the difference between the faculty, students and company’s perception. This paper also discusses the importance of the generic student’s attributes and also some recommendations in respect of further works that can be very valuable to increase the internship program and the employability of mechanical engineering graduates as well.
