Undergraduate Cooperative Education

The Computer Engineering Program offers an optional cooperative work-study program. The primary goal of this program is to enhance the professional development of the individual student through an alternate sequence of industry and academic experiences.

Beginning with the sophomore year and taking advantage of the University trimester system, students are able to spend three terms in industry, yet graduate in August as opposed to April of the fourth year. There have been at least 25 requests per year for students majoring in computer engineering from our co-op companies. View the School of Engineering Co-op Program Web site to learn more.
