Internship Principles

The internship program is designed to provide Environmental Engineering students with professional experience, introduce them to real-world engineering practices in industry, public institutions and research laboratories, and strengthen their practical engineering skills.

Minimum 40 Working Days  •  Two Internships  •  Minimum 20 Days Each  •  CEV 310 + CEV 410
1. Internship Duration and Periods
  • Students must complete a minimum of 40 working days of compulsory internship during their undergraduate education.
  • The internship requirement must be completed in two separate periods of at least 20 consecutive working days, in two different fields and institutions or organizations.
  • One internship working day must consist of at least 8 hours. Students may work a maximum of 6 days per week.
  • If the organization operates on Saturdays, the student must obtain an official signed and stamped document confirming Saturday work and submit it together with the internship documents.
  • The first internship, CEV 310, is normally completed after the 4th semester, while the second internship, CEV 410, is completed after the 6th semester. The eligibility of irregular students is evaluated by the Department Internship Coordination Unit.
  • Internships previously completed by transfer students are evaluated by the Department Internship Coordination Unit within the framework of the Department Internship Principles. If a previous internship is not considered appropriate, the student may be required to repeat it.
  • Compulsory internships must be completed outside regular course and examination periods. If a student attends summer school, internship dates may not overlap with course or examination dates.
  • Public holidays cannot be counted as internship days. Internship start and end dates must be planned accordingly.

  • Students are encouraged to select institutions that will provide the greatest benefit to their professional development.
  • The selected institution must operate in at least one field related to Environmental Engineering and technology, or have a unit working in such a field.
  • Relevant fields may include water and wastewater treatment technologies, air pollution and control, solid and hazardous waste management, noise control, environmental management, environmental impact assessment, environmental project design and quality-related studies.
  • For the first internship, CEV 310, laboratories conducting environmental measurements and analyses or institutions operating treatment facilities are recommended. For the second internship, CEV 410, institutions involved in environmental project design and engineering are recommended.
  • Students must comply with all legal and administrative regulations of the institution or organization.
  • Students may not change their internship institution without informing and obtaining approval from the Department Internship Coordination Unit. Otherwise, the internship may be considered invalid.
3. Before the Internship
  1. At the beginning of the spring semester, students should submit a copy of their transcript to the Department Internship Coordination Unit for eligibility evaluation. They should begin searching for an internship institution only after receiving confirmation that they are eligible.
