Internships

The College of Engineering Co-op/Internship Program provides the opportunity for qualified students to be involved in practical work experience in business, industry, and government. It provides formal, on-the-job training that will supplement the baccalaureate degree. All co-op/internships give students the opportunity to gain work experience related to their engineering or construction management degrees.

Most students work part-time while attending school part- or full-time. Others choose to alternate semesters of full-time study with full-time work, or work only during summers.

College of Engineering students are gaining experience through internships and undergraduate research. Who are these students? Where did they work? How did they find the job? How did this experience benefit them?
