Internships done Abroad by Our Students
I had a wonderful experience pursuing my degree in Robotics and Automation at Karunya Institute of Technology and Sciences. I am thankful to the International Affairs and IAESTE for giving me the opportunity to do my exchange studies at Vilnius University, Lithuania, and an internship at the University of Sharjah, UAE. These experiences enhanced my technical skills, provided international exposure, and allowed me to attend international conferences. I delved deep into advanced research on artificial intelligence and human-computer interaction in Lithuania, while my efforts in the UAE contributed to space research, particularly in machine learning. Additionally, I traveled through eight countries, immersing myself in diverse cultures and historical sites, which broadened my global perspective. This combination of academic excellence and international exposure defined this transformative period in my life.
