Co-op Education

Jeremy, Electrical & Computer Engineering

"Overall my internship experience vastly exceeded my expectations for a first time co-op.  I was able to experience virtually every career path that I have the option to take as an EE while also being introduced to many of the industry's leading new technologies such as wireless charging, ethernet networks, and capacitive touch technology which is new territory for all engineers that is likely to stay around for years to come."

Calvin, Mechanical Engineering

"Notably, while in final documentation, I learned how important it is for an Engineer to maintain standards, at least within their own work, so that errors can be found and corrected in a more timely and consistent manner."

Michael, Electrical Engineering

"This co-op experience gave me more confidence in my abilities and reinforced some of the knowledge that I've learned in school that I can one day apply in my future career."

Aaron, Mechanical Engineering

"Looking back at this second co-op assignment I realize just how lucky I am to have gotten another real-life experience of being an engineer.  No matter what you learn in school, nothing can prepare you for engineering than actually doing an engineer's job.  The experiences and skills I gained over these two assignments are irreplaceable and will continue to be helpful as I graduate and start my career."

Michael, Computer and Information Science

"This co-op experience was extremely beneficial in both my short and long term goals.  Upon my return to school, I will have an inside perspective on the reality of a computer science career; this will help me bridge the gap between the classes I take and the real-world application of their lessons.  In the long-term, I now have experience with interviewing and landing a job, being part of a corporation, planning and working on a long-term project, and functioning as a member of a team, as well as bolstered my computer science experience and knowledge.  All of these skills are difficult to attain within the confines of a classroom and will be an important advantage to me in the competitive job market."
