ABSTRACT
The study was conducted to evaluate the students’ performance in the internship program in higher vocational education, especially in the Department of Electrical Engineering Education FPTK UPI (Faculty of Technology and Vocational Education, Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia). It provides suggestions about how to perform an appropriate internship program based on previous studies. The respondents were 160 students (graduates or undergraduates) who have undertaken the internship program from 2000 2013. There were only four external variables that were studied, including the procedure of internship program performance, the role of the workplace supervisor, the role of the lecturer supervisor and the student’s job description. The study used a quantitative method. The findings of this research showed that the procedure of internship program performance and the role of the lecturer supervisor were not sufficient, while the role of the workplace supervisor and the student’s job description in the internship were appropriate.
