Cooperative Training Platform, Smart Platform, Field Tranning, Internship Management System, Computer Engineering and Science
Cooperative training plays a pivotal role in the educational process, particularly at the university level, where students dedicate a certain period to work within governmental or private organizations. In this context, cooperative training enables students to acquire practical experience in their fields of specialization and to meet distinguished professional standards. In this study, the foundations and standards for organizing cooperative training will be presented to enhance the cooperative training efficiency. Given that the organization of cooperative training is closely tied to students' academic disciplines, particular focus will be placed on computer engineering and science fields. However, the proposed model can be adapted to suit other engineering and scientific fields. Organizing cooperative training in the domains of computer engineering and science is, to some extent, more complex than it is in other disciplines. This complexity arises due to the multiplicity and geographical distribution of training entities, the diversity of activities carried out during the training period, and the increasing number of participating students. To ensure the effective management of cooperative training and overcome the difficulties facing higher education institutions, such as ineffective supervision, management procedures, and the lack of databases, it is necessary to develop an electronic platform that facilitates interaction among the various stakeholders involved. In this regard, the platform should offer a set of services supported by smart technologies capable of regulating activities according to the approved training programs. Accordingly, this research will present the specification and analytical overview and propose initial designs necessary for the development of such a platform.
