- Inhoud
The training period allows the student to get actively involved in the professional world and to gain engineering competences in real life situations.
The training can take place in a company inside or outside Belgium. The theme of the training is related to the professional life of an engineer in this enterprise. The training can take place in a laboratory or a research institute outside Belgium. The theme of the training is related to the professional life of a researcher in this institute. University laboratories within Belgium are hereby excluded.
Note that the master thesis can be carried out with the same company or research institute. However, during the training, the activities that are related to the thesis research should be of secondary nature: tasks that are not directly related to the thesis should be attributed to the trainee.
The duration of the training period is minimum 5 weeks or 25 working days (4 ECTS credits).

Algemene competenties
This traineeship focuses on the industrial engineering activities of the student. The student is mastering the knowledge and possesses or acquires the technical skills needed to successfully accomplish a variety of tasks. The training entity supervisor assigns a wide range of tasks to the trainee to broaden the student’s experience and horizon. In a hands-on way, the student thus familiarizes with the company’s task chain. The student is a versatile trainee able to analyse problems and implement solutions. The student’s communicative ability is well-developed and he/she can work in a team. The student is a responsible person showing the necessary reliability, autonomy and initiative.
The student can use all the above mentioned skills to perform an internship and act as is expected from a young engineer.
This course contributes to the following learning outcomes:
- Master and apply advanced knowledge in the own field of engineering in case of complex problems
- Select and apply the proper models, methods and techniques
- Analyse own results and results of others in an objective manner
- Use own knowledge in a creative, target-oriented and innovative way when it comes to research, conceptual design and production
- Reflect on own way of thinking and acting and be aware of the own expertise
- Flexibility to adapt to changing professional circumstances
- Exhibit eagerness to learn about fundamental scientific and technical fields which are closely related to photonics
