Engineering Cooperative Education Course Registration Opens Today
The College of Engineering Cooperative Education Course registration for spring semester opens Nov. 2. The course is a great opportunity for engineering, computer science and data science students planning to participate in a full-time or part-time internship next semester. Students should consider applying for the one-credit-hour Cooperative Education Course. The cost is $25.
Margot Purdy, career events and co-op coordinator for the College of Engineering, said the course is a way for engineering students to gain professional experience while maintaining full-time status.
"There are many benefits to taking the course, such as maintaining your full-time enrollment status with the university, receiving academic credit and professional experience, as well as, in some cases, becoming eligible for monetary scholarships and award opportunities," she said.
The course does not require in-person attendance. Students must have a written offer from an employer prior to completing the application.
Undergraduate students must have completed 30 hours towards their engineering degree and must have a minimum of 2.25 cumulative GPA. Graduate students must have completed six hours towards their engineering degree, must have a minimum of 3.0 cumulative GPA and must have at least three hours of course work remaining upon return to campus. All transfer students, undergraduate or graduate, must have completed one semester of full-time study in the U of A College of Engineering.
