About Engineering Co-op and Career Services

Cooperative education and internships are true partnerships between academic institutions and the world of work.

For students, it's a formal education and practical experience in industry or government, a blend of theory and application, new skills and knowledge, a competitive salary, travel opportunities, a confidence boost, and learning what to expect in a job, in a career, in life.

For employers, it's the opportunity to preview and train future employees, a chance to decrease labor costs and increase name recognition on campus, and a head start on recruiting the best and the brightest.
