Impact of Part-Time CS Engineering Internships on Workload

This study evaluates the impact of part-time internships (PTI) on concurrent subjects and students' satisfaction, in a Computer Science (CS) Engineering degree program. PTI offer some advantages: the technologies learned have a very positive influence on the quality of subsequent capstone projects (CP), students maintain in contact with the university, and synergies can be generated. Nevertheless, there are some challenges as well: maintaining a reasonable workload for students and achieving optimal coordination among different subjects.
