A more specific requirement that resonates with the global competency of KU engineering graduates originates in the undergraduate engineering curriculum requirement dictated by the UAE Ministry of Higher Education, which states that, at the end of the junior year, every student must take an outside-the-university internship position related to her/his major (such as a hospital laboratory intern for biomedical engineering majors, or a software troubleshooting intern position as a computer engineering major, etc.);d.
