Co-ops
A co-op is a full-time paid work experience during the fall or spring semester which gives the student experience and opportunity to gain skills in a particular field. Students remain registered at the university through a zero-credit engineering section. Students are eligible to apply for a co-op semester after declaring their Engineering major. All employers in engineering co-ops are required to pay a reasonable wage.
