Abstract:
It is a well recognized fact that our universities and institutes have
produced engineers of high caliber while the talent and skill of our youth in
this particular field have always been at the highest levels. However, the
need for young mechanical, electrical and electronic engineers with
entrepreneurial qualities, practical training and capability is being felt in
the Sri Lanka industry today. Therefore, there is the need for the
exposure of engineering students to applications and systems through
industrial training more comprehensively and for reasonably long periods.
