APSC 300 - Queen's Internship

Final Internship Report

Overview

A requirement of the Internship Program is the preparation of a final report.  The purpose of the report is to demonstrate the skills and attitudes you acquired during your work period.  A secondary goal is to introduce these skills and experiences to all students, not just those in the Internship Program. 

In order to achieve these goals, we are offering three options to fulfill the final report requirements.  You may choose any one of the three options.

• Option 1 - preparation of a Technical Report. 
• Option 2 - preparation of a Case Study that can be used in a course. 
• Option 3 - preparation and presentation of a Seminar on your internship experience.

Assessment

Assessment will focus on the process as well as the product.   Product outcomes are defined as the “what’ and deal with the tasks you performed and what you produced.    Process outcomes look at the “how” and assess ability in the area of collaboration, relationships, group dynamics and communication.  The practice of engineering requires skills in both production and process.  How tasks and projects are completed is of equal importance to what is produced.
