Engineering students have the opportunity to engage in meaningful real-world work experience in one of the approved organizations in the United Arab Emirates, United States, or elsewhere. Internships are an important mechanism to acquire specific skills and knowledge, build professional networks and gain confidence, as well as to explore career options prior to graduation.
Depending on the student’s career objectives, an internship may involve working in a large corporation, small company, high-tech start-up, non-governmental organization, or alongside a faculty research mentor on cutting-edge research projects at one of NYU’s campuses. Through NYUAD’s internship program, students can also test their educational skills and classroom knowledge on various service learning projects. Internships can vary in length from a summer to a semester or a year. They do not earn academic credit.
