Course Overview
Students in this course will work full time (either paid or unpaid) for one semester in an external organization, or a BCIT research lab. The precise nature and scope of the work will vary. But the student will be associated with a workplace, where they will demonstrate their ability to contribute to a team that is solving applied computing problems. The student will maintain contact with their BCIT supervisor through weekly communication. Over the course of the internship, the student will also refine or develop a research proposal for the research project course (COMP 9500). Detailed procedures for the internship, including approval requirements and process, can be found in the Program Handbook.
