Internship Training

All CPEG students in the 4-year curriculum will be automatically registered in a zero-credit course, CPEG1971 Industrial Experience, starting from the 2nd Spring/Summer of their study. Students are required to complete a full-time internship training for a period of at least six weeks in a position or company recognized by the Department as relevant to the computer engineering profession. Students must also complete the Safety Training module which is incorporated in ENGG1010 to pass CPEG1971.

Enrollment in CPEG1971 will continue until internship requirement is fulfilled. If students do not complete an internship by the end of Year 3 summer, they will be required to complete the industrial training modules set by the HKUST Industrial Training Center (ITC) in their final year. The industrial training modules consist of two parts: the first part is taken at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University Industrial Centre (HKPUIC), and the second part is taken in-house at HKUST ITC.

Before starting an internship, students should apply for approval and submit their CV on the SENG Internship and Industrial Training System, Prof. Gibson Lam, Internship Coordinator of CPEG, will check whether the internship position is relevant to the students' program of study. A position is generally approved as long as it is broadly related to the program. A brief report together with supervisor feedback need to be submitted online upon completion of the internship.

Workshops, talks, and recruitment events are organized every semester by HKUST, SENG, CSE and ECE, and new internship jobs are posted regularly. Please visit the following links for job openings and events:
