Industrial insights 2017

Project ‘Industrial Insights’ focuses on creating relationships with the engineering and related undergraduates and the Royalists who are working in the engineering field. The program started with an initial survey among the old Royalist undergraduates about what they expect from an industrial insights program. Based on the survey conducted, the program was announced to be a mentoring based program that plans to build relationships between the undergraduates and Royalists engaged in professional engineering practice and help them network and develop a good rapport.
In doing this, the current project has already approached engineers and professionals from the industry and after some discussions have created a group of mentors who are willing to take in different undergraduates in different fields of study and give them a chance to see what is new in their respective industries and what they need to do to prepare for the industry. For a more hands-on approach, the groups of 5 - 8 undergraduates are assigned to a single mentor. The project is planned such that the advisor and the undergraduates are to meet at least once a month. The advisor and the undergraduates are to meet at least once a month. 
Throughout the programme the undergraduates were given the opportunity of visiting a number of workplaces and industrial sites with respect to their field, giving them a good taste of what to expect during their internship period. The students were able to closely observe the work process of each of these sites and request the assistance of their mentor for further clarifications.

Industrial insights 2019

The project “Industrial insights” conducted by OREPA Student Chapter was executed successfully in 2019. The focus of this project was to create a good rapport between the undergraduates and the old Royalists who are working in the engineering field. It was also aimed at expanding the network amongst them.The project also helps to give industrial information to old Royalist undergraduates. The first introductory session was held at RCU. Mr. Heminda Jayaweera, chief operating officer at SLINTEC, conducted a motivational speech.In the second session, the students of the Department of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering were given the opportunity to meet Mr. Himantha Alahakoon, who is the Associate software Architect at Paraqum Technologies. A mentoring session was conducted by him.
