Cooperative Education ذكذكتسئµ
Cooperative education (co-op) and internship programs are designed to make student success upon graduation our priority by combining practical experience with academic study.
We assist co-op students to obtain paid cooperative education/internship opportunities in all of the engineering disciplines at ذكذكتسئµ: Chemical and Biomolecular, Civil and Environmental, Computer, Electrical, Industrial, Industrial Technology, and Mechanical.
Our goal in this program is two-fold: to provide our engineering students with the highest quality immediately applicable education possible and to help insure students have the qualifications companies want.
Are you an employer wanting to learn more?
Are you a student ready to get a co-op?
