1.1 OBJECTIVE OF INDUSTRIAL TRAINING
The objective of undertaking industrial training is to provide work experience so that
student’s engineering knowledge is enhanced and employment prospects are improved.
The student should take this course as a window to the real World of Work and should try
to learn as much as possible from real life experiences by involving and interacting with
industry staff. Industrial training also provides an opportunity to students to select an
engineering problem and possibly an industry guide for their Major Project in final
semester.
Industrial training of the students is essential to bridge the wide gap between the
classroom and industrial environment. This will enrich their practical learning and they
will be better equipped to integrate the practical experiences with the classroom learning
process.

1.2 LEARNING THROUGH INDUSTRIAL TRAINING
During industrial training students must observe following to enrich their learning:
- Industrial environment and work culture.
- Organisational structure and inter personal communication.
- Machines/ equipment/ instruments - their working and specifications.
- Product development procedures and phases.
- Project planning, monitoring and control.
- Quality control and assurance.
- Maintenance system.
- Costing system.
- Stores and purchase systems.
- Layout of Computer/ EDP/MIS centres.
- Roles and responsibilities of different categories of personnel.

above by -
1. Observation,
2. Interaction with officials at the workplace
3. Study of Literature at the workplace (e.g. User Manual, standards, maintenance
schedules, etc.)
4. "Hand's on" experience
5. Undertaking / assisting project work.
6. Solving problems at the work place.
7. Presenting a seminar.
8. Participating in-group meeting/ discussion.

13. Discussions with peers.

1.3 GUIDANCE TO THE FACULTY/TPO FOR PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTING
THE INDUSTRIAL TRAINING
The industrial training programme, which is spread to 6 weeks’ duration, has to be
designed in consultation with the authorities of the work place, keeping in view the need
of the contents. Following are some of the salient points:
􀀀 Spelling out the objectives of the industrial training in behavioral terms and same is
informed in advance to the 1) students, 2) authorities of the work place and 3) supervising
faculty members.
􀀀 Discussing and preparing students for the training for which meetings with the students
has to be planned.
􀀀 Meeting with industrial personnel and orienting them regarding the objective of the
training and the expectations of the programme.
􀀀 Correspondence with the authorities of the work place.
􀀀 Orientation classes for students on how to make the training most beneficial -
monitoring daily diary, writing weekly reports, how to interact with various categories of
industrial personnel, how to behave and undertake responsibilities, how to gather
information from the workplace, ethics etc.
􀀀 Guiding students to make individual plans (week wise/ day wise) to undertake
industrial training
􀀀 Developing a system of maintaining training records, by teachers for every batch of
students for
convenient retrieval.
􀀀 Inviting industrial personnel to deliver lectures on some aspects of training.
