It is realized in an industrial corporation which conducts mechanical engineering applications like “manufacturing and assembly processes” in its structure for minimum 20 workdays during summer vacation. Students report the activities performed in corporation according to a format determined by Mechanical Engineering Department. The language of the report is Turkish. Foreign students and/or the activities performed abroad, the language of training report is English. This is a Pass/Fail type of activity and students will not be given a letter grade.
