What is a co-op or an internship?

A co-op or internship is a short-term learning experience for students in a professional work environment and is typically related to the student’s major or career goal. The opportunity generally involves a student working in a setting under the supervision of and mentoring a business professional. The work can be paid or unpaid and may or may not be eligible for academic credit.

We take real-world learning as seriously as classroom instruction. You’ll mix in-class time with work experience as a paid employee working within your area of study. Top employers participate in four tracks: Traditional, Research, Internship, and Global Engineering.
