Internship program

A defining experience for CLGO students is their 6-month internship at a partner company (or other related companies). Though a research project serves as its centerpiece, the internship actually encompasses much more. Its goals are to:

- Have a significant impact on the host company

- Provide a unique educational experience that broadens students’ knowledge of manufacturing and operations

- Expose students to real manufacturing and operations concerns, which can be addressed only through teamwork and the integration of disciplines

- Generate generic and specific engineering and management results for the project and thesis

- Support research activities that are critical to participating companies and to the CLGO Program

- Foster collaborative relations between SJTU and manufacturing and operations-oriented companies

- Establish a mechanism for changing behaviors, attitudes, and values in a way that leads to manufacturing and operations excellence

- Identify principles that should be taught and practiced by manufacturing and operations leaders.
