Are internships and co-ops available?
An internship means working for an engineering company during your summer break. Internships are available as early as the summer after your first year. A co-op position means taking a semester off of school plus a summer to work for an engineering company. Co-ops are available once you are in your engineering degree-granting program. A co-op generally lasts eight months, while internships last an average of three months. In engineering, both internships and co-ops are paid positions. Engineering Career Services hosts a career fair, called Career Connection, at the beginning of each semester to help students meet hundreds of employers seeking engineers for a variety of positions.
