Evaluating our industrial training students is always one of the most fulfilling parts of academic life because it gives us a direct window into how classroom theories translate into real-world applications. For this round, since our four students are attached to four different companies in various locations, we took the evaluation sessions online. Each student presented their day-to-day scope of work, key project contributions, and the unique challenges they faced during their placement.

These sessions are crucial from an academic standpoint. They allow us to carefully assess whether the host companies provide a suitable learning environment and ensure that the scope of work truly aligns with the core principles of Geoinformatics. Seeing them handle real GIS workflows, spatial data management, and industry-grade tools confirms that they are getting the solid industry exposure they deserve.

I hope our students maximize this golden opportunity to absorb as much practical knowledge and technical skill as possible. More importantly, I look forward to having them bring these rich experiences back to UTM, sharing their insights and inspiring their peers. All the best to our interns as they complete their industry journey!
