Steps for Completing a Co-Op or Internship

For CENBD, EE BD, or SE BD Majors

Prior to starting the internship or co-op experience you must:

  1. Obtain an engineering co-op or internship position. It is the responsbility of the student to obtain the position. Career Services can provide assistance with preparation and locating resources.
