Abstract

This pioneering study of industrial engineering internships reports the results from a survey of 70 companies that hired interns during the summer of 2003. The study reveals that companies' responses to the internship issues seem to be influenced by their plans for hiring interns in the future, whether they had an orientation program, and whether they paid their interns. The results also show that employers rated student-focused internship issues as being more important than company-related issues. Based on the results, several strategies for various industrial engineering constituencies to improve these valuable experiences are proposed. We conclude with recommendations for future research.
