1. INTRODUCTION
Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP) was established with the objective to produce well-rounded
graduates who are not only technically competent but also possess other traits such as lifetime learning
capacity, critical thinking, communication and behavioral skills, business acumen, practical aptitude
and solution synthesis ability.
In line with the vision to close the industry gap, UTP has made it compulsory for its undergraduate
students to undergo practical work in the form of a fourteen (14) - week industrial attachment prior to
their completion of studies at UTP. Student Industrial Training (SIT) shall carry seven (7) credit hours.
SIT provides opportunity to the students to experience the real working environment of the industry.
The students will develop skills in work ethics, communication, management and working in a team.
SIT is coordinated by the Career Development Office (CDO) who is responsible in ensuring the success
of SIT. With an average of 500 interns per semester, CDO has successfully secured the placements for
all students with various host companies such as PETRONAS subsidiaries, government-linked
companies (GLC), multi-national companies (MNC), as well as major overseas corporation i.e. in US,
Germany, France, Austria, Singapore, UAE, Italy and UK.
UTP has always placed great emphasis in having a close collaboration with the industries in which its
graduates will eventually gain recognition from industry players locally and abroad. This internship
programme is a prime example of the University Industry collaboration.
Currently, UTP offers five engineering programmes namely Chemical, Civil, Electrical & Electronics,
Mechanical and Petroleum Engineering, two Applied Sciences namely Applied Chemistry and Applied
Physics and three technological programmes namely Information & Communication Technology,
Business Information Systems and Petroleum Geosciences at Bachelor degree level.

2. PURPOSE OF STUDENT INDUSTRIAL TRAINING (SIT)
The purpose of the Student Industrial Training (SIT) is to expose UTP students to the real working
environment so that they can relate theoretical knowledge with application in the industry. From the
SIT, the students will also develop skills in safety practices, work ethics, communication, management,
etc. Furthermore, SIT will establish a close relationship between the industries and UTP. The exposure
to industrial environment will help the students to develop their soft skills and work experience.
