Four
Work-Experience Opportunities
The Co-operative Engineering Education Program is our most
extensive option, offering ten months of full-time employment in industry.
The Engineering Career Institute offers pre-professional employment for
twelve weeks in the summer after a student's junior year.
Our Internship Program allows a student to work alongside practicing
engineers one day a week for a semester.
All departments participate inabove three programs.
Our fourth program is the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Senior Design
Project, in which students solve real-world design problems over the course of a
semester.
Job
Effectiveness Skills
Prior to beginning either the Co-op Program or the Engineering Career Institute, students
participate in pre-employment courses. This orientation
provides our students with real-world skills in leadership, communication and teamwork, as
well as professional expertise in:
- Total Quality Management
- Interpersonal Communication Skills
- Problem Solving
- Decision Making
- Financial Introduction to Industry
- Project Management
- Value Engineering
- Safety & Environmental Management Time Management
Our programs have proven highly successful, encouraging motivated students to put their
engineering skills to work in industry and to learn about their chosen profession in the
process. Our students are typically employed in a variety
of engineering tasks, such as:
- Redesigning Machine Components
- Providing Line Support to Just-in-Time and Total Quality
- Control Production Cells
- Reducing Material Wastes
- Researching Equipment Costs
- Working with System Design, Integration, Documentation
- Monitoring Efficiency
- Computerizing or Streamlining Routine Procedures
- Developing New Safety Components and Procedures
- Fabricating and Testing Engineering Prototypes, Developing
- Test Protocols
