Co-ops

Get hands-on experience by taking a semester or two to work with seasoned engineers and other professionals

Cooperative education, or co-op, provides you with the unique opportunity of working in a professional capacity for several months during your time as an undergraduate student. You are well compensated for your work and you gain relevant engineering experience to add to your resume. With a co-op, you will take a semester (or more) off from classes and typically work full time for at least 16 weeks.
