Engineering and Computer Science Co-ops/Internship Opportunities
By the time our students graduate and enter the world of work, they usually feel like they've already been there. Significant, meaningful professional experiences are flagship components of the undergraduate curriculum in the College of Engineering and Computer Science. Through internships, cooperative education, or the extensive project work culminating in the capstone senior design project, our students have worked side by side with professional engineers and computer scientists in true working environments.
Cooperative Education
Students who participate in our co-op plan learn and earn at the same time. They alternate semesters of full-time classroom study with full-time work experience in a professional environment. In all cases, they are compensated for their work, earning part of their college expenses. Within the course of five years, a co-op student will have worked four semesters and studied for eight while earning a degree. Students in all of the college's academic areas are encouraged to participate in the co-op program, including those who study at Harlaxton College, our British campus.
Internships
Internships are semester-long, full-time professional work experiences in which students can participate, usually over a summer. Most are paid positions, and students gain valuable work experience while earning money for college.
