METU EEE SUMMER PRACTICE HOMEPAGE

Announcements

NEW! Information for students who would like to do an internship in the winter break:

1. If you are a senior-year student expecting graduation in the summer of 2025, you can do your EE300 or EE400 internship during the winter break. If you would like to do an internship in the winter break, for your SGK insurance please fill in the excel file provided here with your internship information in soft format. Email the document to velif-at-metu-edu-tr precisely one week before the beginning of your internship with the subject line

"SGK insurance application SP beginning dd.mm.2025"

providing the day and month of the beginning date of your SP.

2. If you are already working in a company as a candidate engineer, you can present the relevant part of your work for the EE300/EE400 courses as long as your internship duration and the type of your work meet the necessary conditions (i.e. you need to work 20 workdays in a row, and your internship must not overlap with the semesters). However, do not forget that you need to have a full-time SGK insurance during the period that will officially count as your SP period. If you have a part-time insurance already established by your company, you need to get it converted to a full-time insurance by the company or by us.

SP meeting 2024: A general meeting on the EE 300 - EE 400 summer internship courses and the SP procedures has been held on February 26, 2024. The slides of the meeting can be found here. In case you have any queries related to the summer practice procedures, we kindly ask you to first go through the meeting slides and our SP webpage carefully, and send an email only if you cannot find the answer of your question there.

Important information for students who will do their SP this summer::

- Summer internships must be done by physically attending the work place.

- Research internships are allowed if abroad. Research internships can be done in Turkey only if the internship institution is not affiliated with METU. In particular, internships conducted at the following locations cannot be presented for the EE300/400 courses:

a. METU EEE-STAR internships

b. Internships done at research centers affiliated with METU (e.g. ODTÜ-ROMER)

c. Internships done at research centers that used to be affiliated with METU but have gained special status via law no. 6550 (e.g. ODTÜ-GÜNAM and ODTÜ-MEMS)

Internships done at research centers outside this scope (e.g. TUBITAK UZAY) can be presented for EE300/400, even if the place of the internship is in the METU campus.

Important reminder about EE300/EE400 prerequisites: Please remember that the OHS101 and OHS301 courses are prerequisites for the EE300 and EE400 courses. This means that you need to proceed in the following order: First take the OHS101 and OHS301 courses, then do your SP in the summer/winter break once you passed both of these courses, and finally take the EE300/EE400 course in the semester that follows your SP. Note that students who have done their SP but cannot get registered to EE300/EE400 because they have not taken OHS301 will need to repeat their SP.

Internships in public institutions: All public institutions in Turkey (kamu kurumlari) accept internship applications through a centralized system. Please consult this page for further information.

SGK Insurance Application System

The insurance application module in the OCW system is now closed as we have reached the end of summer.
