Industrial Practice Programs
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.

are located in EC 2.502.
