Students are encouraged and fully supported by the department and faculty to apply for internships particularly in 3rd year of their studies. There is an office of Financial Aid & Career Services (FA&CS) centrally managed by UET Administration. One of the important functions of the FA&CS is to search and develop contacts with the industry and R&D institutes in public and private sectors of the country in order to identify prospective employers, jobs, scholarships and internship training for UET students. There is an internship/job portal on UET webpage, as well as on a UET media portal in addition to the Facebook groups purely for Mechatronics students, all of which are very helpful in communicating up-to-date information to all with ease. Some links to these are (1) (2) (3) (4).
