Experience scope
Categories
Data analysis Product or service launchSkills
c++/c python data analysis electronics researchBring on one or more 3rd year students from Kwantlen Polytechnic University in the Physics for Modern Technology program to be your virtual interns, in a project-based experience. Students will work on one or more projects of your choosing over the internship period, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, student placements will only occur virtually.
Learners
Deliverables will vary depending on the scope of the project. The student should ideally complete 490 hours, though there is some flexibility.
Project Examples
Requirements
Students can complete a substantial project for your organization over the placement period.
Project examples that students can complete while working from home may include, but are not limited to:
- Circuit simulation (students have experience with Multisim, but could also learn to use LTspice, for example)
- Computer programming for various applications (using Python, C/C++)
- Projects involving microcontrollers (students have experience with PIC and Arduino). Some experience with Raspberry Pi also.
- Data analysis and presentation
Additional company criteria
Companies must answer the following questions to submit a match request to this experience:
Be available for a quick phone call with the internship coordinator to initiate your relationship and confirm your scope in an appropriate fit for the internship.
Be available for 3-4 check-ins with the instructor over the course of the project.
Provide a dedicated contact who will act as the student's primary supervisor over the duration of the virtual placement. A secondary contact should be provided as a backup. Students will interact virtually with their primary contact on a daily basis, or as needed.
