Unstructured method in coordinating internship students lead to poor cost and manpower optimization, and poor compatibility between students and the assigned supervisors. The idea of augmenting an E-Internship system with Genetic Algorithm (GA) is to accommodate the need for a systematic and centralized system for internship coordination. E-Internship system is implemented as a Moodle function. The GA complements the system by automatically assigning a supervisor for each internship student based on two important criteria: distance between student location and number of students assigned to a lecturer or supervisor. An illustrative example of using GA for the Supervisor-Student Assignment (SSA) is provided. For evaluating the performance of the GA, an actual case was solved and the results show that the proposed GA is able to find nearly optimal solutions. © 2017 IEEE. date: 2018 publisher: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85050774001&doi=10.1109%2fIC3e.2017.8409236&partnerID=40&md5=b43025c025d2b72f42ea697787fd0483 id_number: 10.1109/IC3e.2017.8409236 full_text_status: none publication: 2017 IEEE Conference on e-Learning, e-Management and e-Services, IC3e 2017 pagerange: 44-48 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781538631454 citation: Norizan, N.A.M. and Taib, S.M. and Zakaria, N.
