The Industrial Practice Programs (IP Programs or IPP) of the Erik Jonsson
School of Engineering and Computer Science include the School’s Cooperative
Education, Internship, and Curricular Practical Training programs. These programs
combine classroom learning with paid work experience. Qualified students are
referred to participating employers seeking candidates for career-related,
pre-professional, work assignments. The programs enhance a student’s education
and career preparation by integrating classroom theory with on-the–job
performance; providing an understanding of work environments and professional
requirements; testing career and professional goals; developing confidence,
maturity, and skills in human relations; and establishing professional contacts
and interests.
Students enroll in Engineering Computer Science Co-op (ECSC) courses during
semesters when working on an IPP assignment. Students are expected to follow
the rules of the IP Programs when working in a position titled by the employer
as an Internship or a Cooperative Education assignment.

Programs are located in EC 3.706.
