Graduate Internship in Emerging Technologies

(1.5-3 Credits)

The graduate internship course is designed to bridge students’ professional internship experiences with academic inquiry and professional development. The course enables students to analyze their workplace through ethical, technical, organizational, and innovation lenses, while developing high-level professional and research skills applicable to leadership in technology-driven sectors. The course has three primary goals: • Integration of Practice and Theory – Connect students’ professional experiences with academic frameworks from engineering, data science, technology management, and responsible innovation. • Applied Reflection and Analysis – Encourage structured reflection on the student’s role, organizational context, and contributions to emerging technology projects. • Professional and Research Development – Strengthen graduate-level communication, analytical writing, and leadership skills in preparation for advanced roles in tech, policy, or entrepreneurship. Grading is based on academic work completed in the course (not internship performance) and includes structured reflections, research analysis, and a culminating project connecting academic and professional learning.
