Thanks for your help. This is the translation that I will actually use, but I also wanted to thank Iglaub for his explanation - engineers going to plants helped make sense of "proizvodstvennaya" as oppoed to simply "praktika" with no qualifier. Thanks to all!!

maybe industrial internship would be a better match. \'Practicum\' isn\'t used much in English, but it would probably be \'Praktikum\' in German.

practical training


Explanation:
This is a fairly general term, so it can fit many purposes.
If you have more information about it, you could also choose from "field experience" or "production practice".

(short-term) internship


Explanation:
internship is usually longer than практика, therefore you might want to qualify it.

field experience


Explanation:
This what senior students usualy have to do. During their first years at the universities they usually gain knowledge, read different literature in accordance with their field of study and write papers. As they become senior students, the time comes for them tu put their knowledge into practice. That's what field experience is for. They go to the plants if their engineers, or to schools if they are teachers and just learn to do the job practically.
