Engineering Internship Program
Employers value experience. Internships (four, eight, twelve, or sixteen months) allow you to gain professional work experience during the course of your undergraduate studies while earning a salary within the average range for entry-level professional positions. Other benefits include the following:
- Improved employment prospects upon graduation, often at a higher starting salary
- The opportunity to explore career options prior to graduation
- The opportunity to develop communication and technical skills and to acquire a business perspective that cannot be learned in school
An internship may begin in January, May, or September. Employers choose the most suitable students for their organization through an application and interview process. While employed by the participating companies, you work on assignments related to your field of study. Internships will be recognized on your transcript as one or more non-credit courses entitled 鈥淚ndustrial Practicum鈥�. Successful completion of an internship of eight months or more qualifies you to graduate with the Internship Program designation on your transcript.
