The Society of Petroleum Engineers Universiti Teknologi MARA Student Chapter (SPE-UiTM SC) successfully organized the NextGen Internship Forum 2026, bringing together Bachelor of Oil and Gas Engineering (Hons) students for an insightful and interactive knowledge-sharing session focused on internship preparation and professional development.
As industrial training serves as a crucial milestone in every engineering student's academic journey, the forum was designed to bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world industry experience. The event provided an opportunity for senior students who had completed their internships to share their experiences, challenges, and lessons learned with juniors who will soon embark on their own internship placements.
Learning Through Shared Experiences
Throughout the session, the panelists shared valuable insights on securing internship placements, adapting to workplace culture, managing professional responsibilities, and maximizing learning opportunities during industrial training. Their experiences provided participants with a realistic understanding of workplace expectations and the importance of professionalism, communication, and continuous learning.
The forum also featured an engaging question-and-answer session, allowing participants to interact directly with the panelists and seek advice on various aspects of internship preparation. The open discussions encouraged meaningful exchanges of ideas while helping students gain greater confidence as they prepare for their future industry attachments.
Building Industry-Ready Graduates
Through initiatives such as the NextGen Internship Forum, SPE-UiTM SC continues to support the development of future oil and gas engineers by promoting peer-to-peer learning and professional growth. Such programmes play an important role in enhancing students' readiness, adaptability, and confidence before entering the industry.
SPE-UiTM SC extends its sincere appreciation to all panelists, participants, and committee members whose dedication and contributions made the event a success. We hope that the insights shared throughout the forum will inspire students to approach their internships with confidence and a commitment to excellence.
