College of Engineering Co-op Program
The College of Engineering Cooperative Education (Co-op) Program is one of the first-ever and most renowned programs in the nation. Established in 1919, the Co-op Program integrates classroom work with practical industrial experience. Students alternate semesters of school with semesters of employment for at least three alternating work terms once they have completed their sophomore year.
The work is related to some phase of the field of study in which she or he is engaged and is often diversified to afford a wide range of experience. The objective is balanced training, combining the science of engineering with communications and team-building skills during the early years of professional development.
Student participants have said the program helps to clarify career goals, applies classroom theory to real life situations, and provides a source of both real-time and future income. This year the salary for students entering their first Co-op work term ranges from $2400/month to $3400+/month. Upon graduation, many of the corporations hire their Co-op students because of their work experience.
