Yup, starting 3rd year 1st sem. Not sure when i'll be doing industrial training though. I'll prolly do it the following year.
My housemates, one of them is one semester ahead, he's definitely doing industrial during short sem, while the other is doing CS, not sure when he's doing his industrial.
Hrmm if you gonna do the following year, means you will finish your 4th year by then, its time to find real work.
I suggest you to do it before you final year. So you can decide your elective subjects for your 4th year including your final year project topic.
You know, you need to step out into the real world to know what is your interests are in ME. There are many divisions such as automotive, robotic, thermo, oil and gas, air conditioning and etc. So if you do your IT before your 4th year, you can decide what you like to do and what you dont like. You cant be studying automotive's subjects and doing automotive final year project but after grad you plan to work in oil and gas company. You dont have the extra credit to get the job unlike people who major in oil and gas during their 4th year.
I got a friend planning to do his IT after the short sem, on April. But its okay for him I guess because he loves automotive and planning to apply his IT only on automotive companies.
