大学与产业的联系被认为是使大学生具备理论和实践知识的一项战略。本研究旨在探讨巴希尔达尔大学巴希尔达尔技术学院实习指导的方法、观念和挑战。参与者包括导师、学生和一名导演。因此，60名导师，80名学生，和一个学术项目主任通过可用性和目的抽样技术选择。本研究采用个案研究、嵌入式混合研究设计方法。研究资料以问卷调查及访谈方式收集，并以描述性统计、Kruskal-Wallis H检定及主题分析等方法进行分析。研究结果显示，实习导师与学生均认为实习导师的辅导有助于提升工科学生的学业成就与心理状态。然而，导师和学生之间观察到不同的反应。大多数学生没有意识到实习指导计划帮助他们提高了沟通技巧和未来的职业生涯。数据还证明，大多数导师采用的是克隆模式，而不是培育模式和友谊模式。最后，数据表明，缺乏公司主管的兴趣，让学生在实际工作中，从管理人员的支持不足，指导指导不足的主要挑战，影响实习指导的实施巴希尔达尔理工学院，巴希尔达尔大学。
University-industry linkage is considered as a strategy to equip university students, with theoretical and practical knowledge. The purpose of this research was to investigate the approaches, perceptions, and challenges of internship mentoring in Bahir Dar Institute of Technology, Bahir Dar University. The participants were mentors, students, and a director. Thus, 60 mentors, 80 students, and one academic program director were selected through availability and purposive sampling techniques. The research was designed through a case study, embedded mixed research design approach. The data were collected through questionnaire and interview and analyzed through descriptive statistics (mean), the Kruskal-Wallis H test, and thematic analysis. The data revealed that both mentors and students perceived internship mentoring helped to improve engineering students’ academic achievements and their psychology. However, different responses were observed between mentors and students. Most students did not perceive the internship mentoring program helped them improve their communication skills and their future careers. The data also proved that majority of mentors used a cloning model than the nurturing and friendship models. Finally, the data indicated that lack of company supervisor’s interest to involve students in the actual work, inadequate support from administrators, and inadequate guidance for mentoring are the major challenges that affect the implementation of internship mentoring in Bahir Dar Institute of Technology, Bahir Dar University.
