Abstract

The research article presents the implementation of the SIMAGIN (Industrial Internship Information System) at Politeknik Negeri Media Kreatif PSDKU Makassar to address the inefficiencies in managing industrial internship activities. The system, developed using the extreme programming (XP) methodology, aims to streamline the internship process by facilitating registration, monitoring student activities, and enabling transparent information about available internship positions. The web-based system was designed to benefit students by providing efficient access to internship partner companies and enhancing the quality of their internship experiences. The research also emphasizes the use of black-box testing to ensure the system’s functionality. The study concludes that the implemented system successfully improves the industrial internship process and recommends further refinements, including the exploration of mobile applications. Overall, the research aims to significantly benefit the institution and students participating in the industrial internship program by enhancing the quality and efficiency of the internship experience.
