Internship

  1. Purpose and objectives of the practice

The purpose of industrial practice in the 8th semester (4th year) is to generalize, systematize, consolidate and deepen students’ theoretical knowledge in the studied specialized disciplines, acquire skills in analyzing decision-making methods and information systems of a specific management object in order to independently solve the problem of building models for evaluating, analyzing and forecasting the functioning of an enterprise using modern economic and mathematical methods and information technologies.

One of the main tasks of the internship is to collect materials for the thesis, prepare for its implementation; master modern methods, forms of labor organization in the field of the future profession, form professional skills and acquire skills for making independent decisions during specific work in real market and production conditions, foster the need to independently systematically update one’s knowledge and creatively apply it in practical activities.

  1. Practice bases

Industrial practice is carried out at bases – in institutions, organizations and enterprises, on the example of which it is possible to study the peculiarities of the manifestation of a scientific and applied problem and practical experience in solving it in accordance with the chosen topic of the qualification work. The bases of industrial practice can be, depending on the chosen topic of research, state and non-state institutions, services, enterprises and organizations that have the necessary conditions and opportunities for conducting practice, structural divisions of the university, in particular the Scientific and Educational Center for Business Analytics  https://ek.biem.sumdu.edu.ua/naukovo-navchalnyj-tsentr-biznes-analityky  , etc.

  1. Practice content

The content of the practical training is determined by its program. The specific list of questions of the practical training program is formed depending on the list of questions that need to be considered according to the individual assignment for the qualification work.

  1. Practice management

Methodological guidance of the practice is provided by the heads of qualification work. Before the practice begins, they conduct a briefing, during which students are introduced to the task for the practical training, the procedure for its completion, the requirements for compiling a report on the practical training, and other organizational issues.

At the enterprise or institution where the internship takes place, the student is assigned an internship supervisor from among the most qualified employees.

  1. Structure of the internship report

Based on the results of the internship, students prepare an individual written report, which contains a systematic summary of the work. The internship report is prepared as the material is collected and formatted and is completed by the end of the internship at the enterprise. The specific content of the internship report is determined by the personal assignment given to the student by the department head before the start of the internship.

The report is checked and signed by the practice leaders from the enterprise and the department.

The internship report should have the following structural elements:
  • title page with the imprint of the practice base seal;
  • feedback from the manager from the practice base on the report on the completion of the practical training;
  • individual assignment for practical training;
  • manager’s review of the internship report;
  • the content of the report, indicating the numbering of the initial pages of each of the structural elements of the report;
  • consistent presentation of properly formatted theoretical and computational and analytical materials.

Structure of the internship report:

  • introduction;
  • main part;
  • conclusions;
  • list of sources used;
  • applications.

The requirements for the content and design of the structural elements of the report are similar to the requirements for qualification works.

The optimal volume of the report is 15–20 pages (excluding the volume of materials placed in the annexes).

The introduction to the report should reflect the following positions: relevance of the selected topic of the qualification work; research objective; research tasks; object of research; subject of research; research methods; information base.

The content of the main part of the report corresponds to the direction of the student’s qualification work: “Automation of business processes” or “Modeling of economic processes”.

The conclusions contain the generalizing results of the work carried out during the practice.

The approach recommended above is not universal: depending on the chosen topic, goal and objectives of the research, the main part of the report may provide for a different composition and content of its subsections.

At the end of the report (after the list of sources used) is the date of completion of its writing and the student’s personal signature.

  1. Preparation of an internship report

The report on the completion of industrial practice must be completed and formatted in compliance with all technical requirements for scientific works set out in the national standard DSTU 3008:2015 “Information and documentation. Reports in the field of science and technology. Structure and rules of formatting.”

The report on the completion of the industrial practice must be written in a literary and literate manner in Ukrainian, adhering to the scientific style. The author must concisely, logically and reasonedly present the content and results of the research, avoiding unnecessary words, unsubstantiated statements, and tautologies.

The text of the report must be completed using computer technology on one side of a sheet of white A4 paper (210×297 mm).

The text is printed with one and a half spacing, the font is Times New Roman, the font size is 14 pt. The text should be printed with the following margins: top and bottom – 20 mm, left – 30 mm, right – 15 mm.

Paragraph indentation should be the same throughout the text and equal to five characters (1.25 cm).

Word wrapping is not allowed in the report.

When completing a report, it is necessary to maintain uniform density, contrast, and clarity throughout the entire work. All lines, letters, numbers, and symbols must be uniformly black throughout the text.

Surnames, names of enterprises, institutions, organizations, and other proper names in the work are given in the original language.

The main provisions for writing a report on the completion of industrial practice are similar to the requirements for writing and defending a bachelor’s thesis ( Methodological instructions for writing, writing and defending a bachelor’s thesis for students of specialty 051 “Economics” of the educational and professional program “Economic Cybernetics” of the full-time bachelor’s degree ).
