Other Information

Cooperative education, or co-op, provides students with the opportunity to gain hands-on experience by taking a semester or two to work with seasoned engineers and other professionals. Engineering students typically begin a co-op following their sophomore or junior year when they have completed enough major-specific courses to contribute in a professional setting.
